How to Make Chicken Mac ‘n Cheese for Two in a Crock Pot
Aunt Lou here.
From the very first time I made this recipe, it was a family favorite. It takes mac ‘n cheese up a level with adding in some cubed chicken and gives me major comfort food vibes. Now the original recipe has 8 servings, so that is two meals for my family. I realize that not everyone needs quite as many servings, so I adjusted it to make this Chicken Crock Pot Mac ‘n Cheese for Two recipe. The original recipe already had a pretty quick cooking time, so I watched this one closely because I knew it would cook up fast. Another thing I notice is that all of my smaller slow cooker (one 2.5 quart slow cooker and two 4 quart slow cookers) tend to cook hotter. So, if your units are like mine, be sure and watch it closely.
(Psst…if you would like more servings, you can find the original recipe here.)
