If you are cooking your own chicken; grab a large heavy bottomed pan or skillet. Add 1 tsp of oil to the pan and place on medium/high heat. Cut the breasts in half for a quicker/even cook.
Coat the chicken with the chicken seasonings. Add the chicken to the hot pan. Cook on each side for about 8-10 minutes or until it reaches 165º internally. Let the chicken rest for 2 minutes. Shred/chop the chicken, add to a large bowl and mix with bbq & hot sauce. Set aside.
Start to cook the pasta according to the package instructions.
Once pasta is done, drain in a colander. Set aside. In the same pot, cook the mac and cheese sauce.
Melt the butter in the large pot on medium/low heat. Add in flour and whisk well. Next, add in seasonings, milk (or broth) and bring to a simmer. Turn the heat down and add the shredded cheese! Next add noodles and shredded BBQ coated chicken.
You can serve as is or take it up a notch and add the mix to a 9x9 casserole dish and pop into a preheated oven (400º) to bake. Feel free to add some extra shredded cheddar and bbq sauce drizzle before baking. Bake for about 15 minutes, pull from the oven, serve and enjoy. Optional to garnish with chopped cilantro.
