Chicken, Broccoli, Cheesy Macaroni

This dish came to me last night after searching in the pantry and fridge for what the heck to cook! I haven't made it to the grocery store so the pickings were getting slim. And, I'm always trying to find a one-dish shoved full of whatever goodness I can put in there that me and my picky eater son will eat. What came about ended up in a Get In My Belly category. I must say, Dang it was good!

 Ingredients:
Cooked Macaroni or whatever shells you like

3 Cooked and Diced or Shredded Chicken

3 Cups Cooked Broccoli

4 oz Velvetta

1 Cup Colby and Monterey Cheese

1 Cup Cheddar Cheese

3 Tbsp Butter

3 Tbsp Flour

1 1/2 Cup Milk

Salt and Pepper


Directions:

Cook your macaroni according to directions on the package. Make your rue, which means, melt 3 tbsp butter then add 3 tbsp flour and salt and pepper. Stir constantly over low-medium heat. Gradually add your milk then all cheeses except the Cheddar...still stirring. Have one of your kiddos do this.

Cook your chicken until done. Cook the broccoli until done. I usually have the frozen broccoli and put mine in the microwave covered in water and added salt for about 8 minutes.
When the macaroni is finished, drain and pour in your cheesy mixture. Add the broccoli and chicken.
Pour into 9x12 dish. Cover with cheddar cheese. Put in the oven 375° for about 15-20 minutes.
