Mac & Cheese with a Twist – “Dont Cry for me Argentina” and chicken take this soul food classic in a whole new direction!
Preparation:
Cook the macaroni in milk until al dente, then stir in 250 g of cheese and “Dont cry for me Argentina!” seasoning until the cheese is melted.
Crisp up the bacon and chop half of it (save the rest for later). Deseed and finely chop the jalapeños, then add both to the macaroni, mix well, and transfer everything to a greased Dutch oven or baking dish.
Season the chicken thighs with a little “Dont cry for me Argentina!” and grill over medium direct heat until cooked to your liking. Dice the chicken, mix with the remaining 50 grams of cheddar cheese, and sprinkle over the macaroni.
Bake everything on the grill or in the oven at 180–200°C (indirect heat) for about 20 minutes. Before serving, top with thinly sliced spring onions or chives and finish with the remaining bacon strips.
