Three bowl full of sriracha macaroni

Cooper® Sriracha Chicken Mac & Cheese

Rating:

Mmmm, Sriracha. People say it’s good on anything, and they just might be right. You know, people say Cooper® cheese is good with just about anything, too. So we combined the two, added some chicken, and mixed it all up with one of our favorite comfort foods. And voila! Cooper® Cheese Sriracha Roasted Chicken Mac and Cheese. We would say more, but that just sounds too delicious to keep typing.

Directions

  1. Preheat oven to 375°F.

  2. Line a 9-inch by 9-inch pan with foil. Set aside.

  3. In a large skillet, melt butter over medium heat. Once butter is melted, add flour and whisk until it forms a paste. Slowly pour in the milk, whisking constantly. Once the milk has been added and there are no clumps, cook until thickened, or about 10 minutes. Add cheese to the sauce gradually, whisking as it melts. Season with salt, pepper, and Sriracha sauce and mix thoroughly. Try some out and adjust seasonings according to taste.

  4. Add the chicken and pasta and mix gently to combine.

  5. Pour into prepared baking pan and top evenly with breadcrumbs. Spray top with cooking spray and place pan in the oven. Bake for 15–20 minutes, or until the top is golden brown and the cheese is bubbly.
