Fixate Mac and Cheese with Chicken and Broccoli!

Who doesn't like Comfort FOOD?! I mean really, especially on a chilly night! A glass of wine! A bowl of healthy mac and cheese, a fire in the fireplace! YES PLEASE! Then you MUST try this! IT's delish AND kid friendly AND it's 21 day fix approved! 

Ingredients:
- 4 oz. whole wheat macaroni (I used bow ties!)
- 4 tsp. organic grass fed butter or organic coconut oil
- 2 tbsp. whole wheat flour
- 1.5 cups unsweetened almond milk
- 1 1/4 cups extra sharp cheddar cheese ( I like to grate it freshly!)
- 3 cups cooked and chopped chicken breasts (skinless, boneless)
- 4 cups chopped broccoli florets, steamed
- 1 tsp. sea salt
- 1/2 tsp. black pepper






Directions:
- cook macaroni according to package directions
- melt butter or coconut oil in large sauce pan over medium heat
- add flour; stirring constantly for 1 minute or until brown (don't let it burn)
- slowly stir in almond milk; cook, stirring constantly, for 1 to 2 minutes or until mixture thickens and there are no lumps
- Reduce heat to low. Add in the cheese; stirring constantly until cheese is melted
- Add chicken, broccoli, noodles, salt, and pepper. 
*Stir until heated all the way through and serve!
