The other day I had the worst craving ever for BBQ which is weird because I don’t even like BBQ…don’t ask. HA! Luckily for me I have about six bottles of BBQ sauce sitting in my pantry right now because I got them for 0.25 each on a super sale last spring. Not sure why I bought so many because like I said earlier, I don’t like BBQ. I know, I know, I’m weird.
I have gotten back into creating yummy recipes lately so I decided to make something with some of my stash of BBQ sauce. I found a box of Mac and Cheese in my pantry and just happened to have some extra baked chicken on hand so I called that fate and decided to make some Mac & Cheese with some BBQ chicken!! Sounds good, right??
So all I did was make the mac and cheese according to the box, chopped the chicken all up and mixed about half of it with the mac and cheese.
Side note- I always seem to have leftover baked or grilled chicken on hand and I usually end up shredding it up and either freezing it or just sticking it in the refrigerator for later use. It’s a quick and easy way to add protein to any recipe and I am all about quick and easy!!
After I mixed the mac and cheese with the chicken I added just enough BBQ sauce to taste it and then I ate it up!! It was soooo good!!! And remember this is coming from someone who doesn’t even really like the taste of BBQ…HA!

This looks really good. I’m kind of trying to figure out how I’ve never thought of it before. :) I especially love that it’s so simple!
That looks great! Not sure how you can not like BBQ but that’s ok :)
Yummy :) I am a southern girl born and raised and love anything with BBQ sauce so I will be pinning for later
This sounds so delicious. A great twist on a dinner standby… I am going to have to try this for sure!
I never thought of putting BBQ sauce in mac and cheese. I’m not a BBQ eater as well but your dish looks good.
I use rotisserie chicken all the time – chicken salad, chicken enchiladas, the list goes on and on. I have this thing about touching raw chicken. It almost sends me over the edge. :) When the hubs cooks chicken on the grill, he has to prep it, too. Your recipe looks easy and delish!
This sounds yummy! I do the same thing with rotisserie chicken. I would never have thought to add the sauce to the mac and cheese itself I would think just the chicken but I am going to try and see how it goes!
You just cannot beat an easy and delicious meal. I’m a big fan of most anything with some good Bar-b-Q sauce sometimes. I agree that those Rotisserei chickens are great to have on hand. They make the best chicken salad!
Oooh, I like barbecue sauce and mac & cheese so combining them sounds super tasty to me!
That looks really yummy! I’ll definitely have to try the recipe. I’ve had mac & cheese and BBQ chicken separately but never together. Time to try something new! Thank you for the recipe.
