Total time: 45 min
Yield: 4 servings
Ingredients: 4 slices white bread, torn into pieces; 1/4 cup grated parmesan cheese; 1 garlic clove, minced (fresh garlic goes a long way in this); 1/2 cup unsalted butter, melted; 1 teaspoon salt; 1 1/2 teaspoons pepper; 1 lb elbow macaroni; 6 tablespoons all-purpose flour; 1 teaspoon dry mustard; 1/8 teaspoon cayenne pepper; 4 1/4 cups low sodium chicken broth; 1 1/2 cups heavy cream; 2 cups shredded colby cheese (I use Tillamook brand, best tasting cheese, in my opinion, that one can find at the standard superma); 2 cups shredded extra-sharp cheddar cheese (again, Tillamook); 1 (16 ounce) can chicken, reserve the broth

4 slices white bread, torn into pieces

1 lb elbow macaroni
6 tablespoons all-purpose flour
1 teaspoon dry mustard
1/8 teaspoon cayenne pepper

1 (16 ounce) can chicken, reserve the broth

1
Pulse bread, Parmesan, garlic, and 2 tablespoons of butter in a food processor until coarsely ground. (Alternatively, using your hands to do such also works.).

Cook pasta as directed, drain it, and pour into a baking dish of choice.
3
Preheat the oven to 375 degrees, and make sure there is an oven rack in the middle position.
4
Heat remaining butter, flour, mustard, and cayenne over medium-high heat, stirring constantly, until golden, 1 to 2 minutes.
5
Slowly whisk in broth, drained chicken broth, and cream and bring to a boil.
6
Reduce heat to medium and simmer until slightly thickened, about 15 minutes.
7
Take the pot off the heat, and whisk in the cheese, chicken, salt, and pepper until smooth.
8
Mix the sauce in with the pasta, cover with aluminum foil, and bake in the middle oven rack for 20 minutes.
9
Remove the foil, top with breadcrumbs, and bake until the breadcrumbs are golden brown and crisp, about 20 minutes.
