Ingredients
- • 6 Foster Farms Crispy Chicken Strips, Frozen
- • ½ Cup Marinara Sauce
- • ½ Cup Shredded Mozzarella Cheese
- • 3-4 Fresh Basil Leaves, finely chopped
Directions
Preheat & Prepare: Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Lightly grease a 12-cup muffin tin with non-stick spray or melted butter.
Prepare Mac & Cheese Mixture: In a large bowl, mix the cooked macaroni with the creamy cheese sauce until evenly coated.
Assemble Cups: Spoon the mac & cheese mixture into each muffin tin cup, filling about ¾ full.
Add Chicken Nuggets: Place one cooked Foster Farms Chicken Breast Nugget into the center of each cup, pressing it slightly into the macaroni mixture.
Top with Cheese & Breadcrumbs: Sprinkle shredded cheddar cheese and breadcrumbs over each cup for a crispy, golden topping.
Bake: Place the muffin tin in the oven and bake for 15–18 minutes, or until the tops are golden and bubbling.
Garnish: Remove from the oven and let the cups cool slightly. Garnish with chopped parsley for a pop of color, if desired.
Serving Suggestion: Arrange the bites on a serving platter. Highlight the cheese pull effect by slowly lifting one bite and capturing the stretchy mozzarella moment!
