Ingredients

  • 1 (26 ounce) jar Prego® Traditional Italian Sauce
  • 1/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese
  • 3 cups cubed cooked chicken
  • 1 1/2 cups uncooked elbow macaroni, cooked and drained
  • 1 1/2 cups shredded mozzarella cheese

Directions

  1. Heat the sauce, 3 tablespoons Parmesan cheese, chicken and macaroni in a 12-inch skillet over medium-high heat to a boil. Reduce the heat to medium. Cover and cook for 10 minutes or until the mixture is hot and bubbling, stirring occasionally.
  2. Sprinkle with the mozzarella cheese and remaining Parmesan cheese. Let stand for 5 minutes or until the cheese is melted.

Add 1 1/2 pounds skinless, boneless chicken breasts, cut into cubes in 2 batches and cook until it's well browned, stirring often. Pour off any fat. Add the sauce, macaroni and cheese to the skillet as directed above in Step 1.
