Servings: 4

Ingredients:

8 ounces uncooked elbow macaroni

3 slices apple wood-smoked bacon

½ pound boneless skinless chicken breasts

1 tablespoon butter

1 tablespoon all-purpose flour

Finely chop bacon and set aside. Increase the heat of the skillet to medium-high heat. Add chicken breasts to the pan and cook turning once until the chicken is fully cooked (the internal temperature should reach 165 degrees). Remove from the pan and chop the chicken into ½ inch chunks.

powder, dill, and salt. Stir until the cheese melts. Stir in pasta, chicken, and half of the chopped crispy bacon.

Lightly spray an 8 x 8 inch baking dish with cooking spray. Spoon the macaroni and cheese mixture into the baking dish. Sprinkle evenly with Colby-jack cheese and remaining bacon bits.
