Yes, you also know it doesn’t look that good, is not too healthy, will have too much calories and … but you want it, because it brings you comfort and tastes yummy.
We all know such dishes.
Today – using some leftovers from the indecent looking chicken (sorry, if there were any disturbing or offensive images in my last post) – I’ll bring you my Chicken Macaroni Cheese Apocalypse …
So, what do you associate with ‘Apocalypse’? Death and destruction?
Wrong!
If you know your Greek, you’d say ‘revelation’, for that is what the Greek work apocalypses means. So … the question now is, will this Chicken Macaroni Cheese be a revelation?
Let us see! For sure it will be very different from what you had before. Hm … yes … eh … well, different.
You know, you want it!
Come and get it!
Ingredients:
200 g cooked chicken meat, shredded (yes, I used it from the beer butt thingy)
200 ml cream (I would have used double had I any)
200 g grated cheese (sadly I just had 100 g)
100 g bacon (cubes, stripes, whatever you fancy … it’s your life)
50 ml chilli sauce (anyone you like)
50 ml tomato puree
2 cloves of garlic, finely chopped
Some basil leaves, torn
Salt and pepper (because we want it)
250 g macaroni
200 g cooked chicken meat, shredded (yes, I used it from the beer butt thingy)

50 ml chilli sauce (anyone you like)
50 ml tomato puree

250 g macaroni
Method:
Go, get your macaroni boiling. Pre-heat the oven to 180 °C.
Go, get your macaroni boiling. Pre-heat the oven to 180 °C.
Grab yourself a proper ovenproof dish (20 x 20 cm did for me) and go for it. Now that will all sound a bit simple from here on … because it is: Throw the ingredients into your ovenproof dish!
While the macaroni might not be ready yet, your dish might look like this …
With all that bringing your water for the macaroni to oil, even though using a kettle to help you, up to here things are fast and you really have to wait for the macaroni.
No worries, though, once the water is ready, the macaroni will be in under 10 minutes. Rinse and add …
That looks like, it could go to the oven and so it does …
By that time I already knew, I didn’t have a sufficient amount of cheese in it. Another remedy would have been to add a ball of mozzarella, but … I didn’t. Just saying!
Oh, yes, 20 minutes in the oven had to do for me, but I reckon 30 minutes will also do no harm.
At this point, things will look like this …
Yes, I know, it doesn’t look spectacular and it’s not much worse adding this picture at all. Hey, you know what? I do it anyway, because I’m the boss here. No I don’t have any issues in connection with being or not being the boss. I have other issues, but I try to suppress them for as log as possible, at least until I am finished here. You really don’t want to read any about it.
You know, you want something else. So let’s get on with it. What about putting on a bit of garnish?
That should do. I asked an expert about it, although she didn’t knew, what I would be using it for. A little bit of basil can go a long way. In our case it goes here …
Well, fine, you can also place it on the individual serving as I did in the opening. If you can’t resist, you can also drizzle over some extra virgin olive oil over it. Just saying! It’s your life!
Now, is that a revelation or just death and destruction?
Think about it! Answer correctly, if you want to live! It’s your life!
Scared? Sorry, I just have to work on making proper threats, but you know that I know how to find you … ah, just kidding, I wouldn’t really tell or show what I am capable of.
Fine, that’s enough. I better get out of here before things get out of hand. See ya!
