Ingredients
- 12 oz gluten-free elbow macaroni
- 2 cups cooked and shredded chicken breast
- 1 cup BBQ sauce
- 3 cups shredded cheddar cheese
- 1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese
- 1/4 cup butter
- 1/4 cup gluten-free all-purpose flour
- 2 1/2 cups milk
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
- 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1/2 teaspoon onion powder
- 1/4 teaspoon paprika
- 1/4 teaspoon cayenne pepper

Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C). Grease a 9x13 inch baking dish.
- Cook the gluten-free elbow macaroni according to package instructions. Drain and set aside.
- In a small bowl, toss the cooked and shredded chicken breast with the BBQ sauce until well coated. Set aside.
- In a large saucepan, melt the butter over medium heat. Stir in the gluten-free all-purpose flour and cook for 1-2 minutes to make a roux.
- Gradually whisk in the milk and continue cooking, stirring constantly, until the sauce thickens and coats the back of a spoon.
- Stir in 2 cups of shredded cheddar cheese and the grated Parmesan cheese until melted and smooth. Season with salt, black pepper, garlic powder, onion powder, paprika, and cayenne pepper.
- Add the cooked gluten-free elbow macaroni to the cheese sauce and stir to combine. Gently fold in the BBQ chicken mixture.
- Pour the mac and cheese mixture into the prepared baking dish. Sprinkle the remaining 1 cup of shredded cheddar cheese over the top.
- In a small bowl, combine the gluten-free breadcrumbs with chopped fresh parsley. Sprinkle this mixture over the top of the mac and cheese.
- Bake in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes, or until the cheese is bubbly and the breadcrumbs are golden brown.
- Allow to cool for a few minutes before serving. Enjoy!
