Creamy Mac & Cheese with Grilled Chicken

1.Cook the macaroni pasta according to package instructions. Drain and set aside.

2.Preheat a grill or grill pan over medium-high heat. Season the chicken breasts with olive oil, garlic powder, onion powder, paprika, salt, and pepper. Grill the chicken until cooked through, about 6-8 minutes per side. Remove from heat and let it rest before slicing into strips.

3.In a saucepan, melt butter over medium heat. Add flour and whisk constantly for 1-2 minutes to create a roux. Slowly pour in the milk while whisking continuously until the mixture thickens, about 5 minutes.

4.Reduce heat to low. Add cheddar and mozzarella cheese to the sauce, stirring until melted and smooth.

5.Combine the cooked macaroni and grilled chicken strips with the cheese sauce. Mix well to coat evenly.

6.Serve the creamy mac & cheese with grilled chicken hot, garnished with a sprinkle of paprika and fresh parsley.
