Salt and pepper

3 tablespoons butter

3 tablespoons all-purpose flour

1/2 teaspoon cayenne pepper

1 teaspoon paprika

3 cups whole milk

1 cup chicken stock

3 cups yellow sharp Cheddar

1 tablespoon prepared Dijon mustard



Place a pot of water on to boil for macaroni.

Heat a medium pan over medium to medium-high heat. Add extra-virgin olive oil and chicken and season with salt and pepper. Saute a couple of minutes then add onion and cook another 5 to 7 minutes until onions are tender and chicken is cooked through. Turn off heat and reserve.



To boiling pasta water, add pasta and salt to season the cooking water. Cook 5 minutes, 3 minutes more or until pasta is cooked to al dente

While pasta cooks, heat a medium sauce pot over medium heat. Add butter and melt, then add flour, cayenne and paprika and whisk together over heat until roux bubbles then cook a minute more. Whisk in milk and stock and raise heat to bring the sauce to a quick boil. Simmer until the sauce thickens about 5 minutes.



Drain macaroni or pasta . Add back to the pot and add chicken to the pasta .



Add cheese to milk sauce and stir to melt it in, a minute or so. Stir in mustard and season sauce with salt and pepper. Pour sauce over chicken and cooked pasta and stir to combine. Adjust seasonings and transfer to a large serving platter and serve.Does anyone know where I can find the recipe for CHEDDAR-JACK MAC %26amp; CHEESE W/CHICKEN from applebees?
