Julia's Mac & Cheese INSIDE Fried Chicken

JP’s been stuffing stuff inside of stuff a lot lately and this time Julia wanted to take it to the next level with her two favorite junk foods; fried chicken and macaroni and cheese. This recipe turned out to be a great cheat day meal hitting home with the crunch of the deep fry, the tender chicken, and the cheesy macaroni filling.

  1. Start with making your macaroni and cheese by taking a large pot of water and boiling your pasta until cooked through, then strain.

  2. In the same pot on medium high heat and butter and melt through. Add you flour and whisk for 2 minutes. Whisk in milk and heavy cream. Once hot add your cheeses. Add cooked pasta to the cheese sauce. Set aside.

  3. Prepare your chicken breasts by cutting off the fat. Using a sharp knife cut a whole in the side and carefully slice the inside of the chicken creating a pocket. Pound the chicken to tenderize and to create more surface area, enlarging the pocket.

  4. Using a spoon and manually stuff cheese slices and about 1 cup of Macaroni and cheese into the chicken breast.

  5. Set up your breading station with flour, eggs, and chicken breader. Dunk the chicken into the flour, egg, flour, egg, chicken breader. Handle carefully, making sure the noodles stay inside the chicken.

  6. Deep fry 350°F for 10 minutes and then bake in a 450°F preheated oven until an internal temperature of 265°F.

  7. Serve on a bed of macaroni and cheese.
