🥄 Texture
Creamy and comforting — the shredded cheese and milk create a smooth, coating sauce that clings to tender pasta. Bite-sized chicken pieces provide a meaty contrast with a slightly firm, juicy chew.
👃 Aroma
Warm, savory cheese notes dominate with a backdrop of roasted chicken aroma. A mild sweet-smoky tang from the barbecue sauce and a hint of dairy rounds out the scent profile.
🍷 Pairs Well With
Crisp Sauvignon Blanc or a light lager to cut the richness; for a non-alcoholic option, iced tea with lemon.
🥗 Side Dishes
Simple green salad with vinaigrette, steamed or roasted broccoli, or garlic bread to soak up the creamy sauce.

Instructions
- 1
Boil water in a large pan and cook the pasta according to the package directions. Drain and set aside.
- 2
In the same pan, heat a little oil over medium-high heat. Add the diced chicken pieces and cook for 5-7 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the chicken is cooked through and no longer pink inside.
- 3
Pour the milk into the pan with the cooked chicken and stir well. Add the barbecue sauce and mix until combined.
- 4
Add the cooked pasta back into the pan and stir everything together. Sprinkle the shredded cheese over the top and stir until the cheese melts completely, about 2-3 minutes.
- 5
Once the cheese is fully melted and the sauce is creamy, remove from heat and serve immediately.
