FAQ

Can I use a different type of cheese for the macaroni?
Absolutely! You can experiment with different cheeses like cheddar or gouda for varying flavours.

Can I bake the chicken instead of frying it?
Yes, you can bake the breaded chicken in a preheated oven at 200°C (400°F) for about 20-25 minutes until golden and cooked through.

Can I make this sandwich ahead of time?
It’s best enjoyed fresh to maintain the crispiness of the chicken, but you can prepare the elements separately and assemble just before serving.

Instructions

Preparing the Fried Chicken Strips

    • Butterfly your chicken breast and then flatten it using a pan or rolling pin until it’s evenly thin.
    • In a shallow dish, combine the flour, garlic granules, salt, and black pepper.
    • Dredge the flattened chicken breast in the flour mixture, ensuring it’s well-coated.
    • Dip the floured chicken into the whisked eggs, coating it thoroughly.
    • Finally, press the chicken into the panko breadcrumbs, making sure it’s fully covered.
    • Heat vegetable oil in a pan over medium heat. Once hot, fry the chicken strips until golden brown and crispy on both sides, about 3-4 minutes per side. Drain on paper towels and set aside.

Making the Macaroni and Cheese

    • Boil the macaroni in salted water according to the package instructions until al dente. Drain, reserving some pasta water.
    • In a saucepan over low heat, combine the cream cheese, mozzarella, and red Leicester. Stir until the cheese melts and forms a smooth sauce.
    • Add reserved pasta water, a little at a time, until you achieve a creamy, pourable consistency.
    • Season with salt, pepper, and fresh parsley. Stir well to combine.
    • Toss the cooked macaroni in the cheese sauce until fully coated.
