Spicy Jack Chicken Mac & Cheese

My plan was to make garlic chicken pizza and I had the recipe all planned out, but I was out of flour to make the dough and didn't feel like driving to the store. So this is what I came up with. A combination of some of the ingredients I was going to use for pizza and another recipe I totally threw together as I went! Here goes! I hope it turns out AWESOME!!! 



Recipe:
2c. Elbow Macaroni (Dry)
2cups Broccoli (Fresh or Frozen)
2c. Shredded Cheddar Cheese (shredded)
2c. Shredded Pepper Jack Cheese (shredded)
1 can Carnation Evaporated Milk
1/2 tsp. Oregano
1/2 tsp. Minced Garlic
1/2 tsp. Pepper
1/2 tsp. Basil
2 Tbsp. Bread Crumbs
3-4 Chicken Breasts

Pre-heat oven 350 degrees

Boil elbow macaroni, separately following instructions on the box or package.
Cut up chicken into bite size and cook in a separate pan until fully cooked

In a separate bowl, combine broccoli, oregano, minced garlic, pepper, basil and bread crumbs. Set aside. 



Finish cooking and draining the noodles and chicken. Combine all ingredients in your largest pot or bowl. Stir until mixed completely, add cheddar cheese and pepper jack cheese. Leave about 1/2 cup of cheese set aside for the top of your casserole

Place mixed casserole into a 9x13 dish. Sprinkle the top with the 1/2 c cheese you sat aside above, sprinkle a little bit of bread crumbs along the top. 

Bake in 350 degrees for 20 min covered with tin foil. Remove tin foil and bake an additional 10 min. 

Enjoy!!!
