We know that chicken + macaroni is a match made in delicious heaven. Sometimes, however, too much of a delicious thing can become tiresome and frankly, boring.Â
The way to make your chicken and macaroni dish more exciting is to think out of the box, or in this case, change your pasta. Macaroni, after all, is just another type of pasta and it’s easily substituted for any other pasta in a recipe. Just look at every pasta ingredient and use macaroni instead.Â
Not only will you start thinking about how versatile chicken and macaroni can become, but you will also save big when it comes to shopping. You just need to remember to grab a bag or two of macaroni and every pasta dish that features a special type of pasta is easily doable. Â
While there are only so many chicken macaroni recipes you can fall in love with, there is no limit to how many ways you can transform a chicken and pasta dish into a chicken macaroni dish that you will look forward to eating again.
