12’s Chicken Bacon Mac ‘n Cheese

January 16, 2016 by Patti 22 Comments

Jump to recipe

Hi readers!  I’m so excited that the Seahawks have made it to the next round of the playoffs and are playing the Panthers in my home territory tomorrow.  I’ve been wearing my Seahawks colors proudly and plan to put my great BIG 12th man flag out in the front yard for the game tomorrow.  It will probably not even be noticed as this is more of a college ball town anyway. 

So here is the official Recipe of the Week for the Home of the 12s Facebook page.  This recipe is taken from Cooking Light Diet and goes along with my New Year’s resolution to lose a few pounds and get in shape. I don’t normally do a lot of recipes on this blog but have been kept hopping lately as the Seahawks just keep pushing on through.  Let’s hope that I’ll be back with more next week!

    Talk about serendipity, Patti (at least that’s what I’d call it) – first, your home team will be playing in your new home state! Second, I was actually on my walk with my husband this morning, thinking of replicating Applebee’s bacon mac & cheese with honey pepper chicken. Your recipe shared today will be pinned as an even better substitute (no coating on the chicken) – it looks delish! Have a great weekend, and go Hawks!

    This recipe really is a new twist on Mac n Cheese, Patti! I know turmeric is good for you, but I would never have thought to add it to a dish like this. Did you love it? It’s looks deeelish!
    I’m so sorry your beloved team did not win their game. 🙁
