OMG this all sounds so good.
More about the chicken recipe please and also mac and cheese recipe please. When you have time
Chicken's about the easiest thing you can do. Equal parts chili powder and brown sugar. Plastic bag. Shake 'em up. Wrap each tender in a strip of bacon. Bake at 350 some 20-25 minutes. Turn on the broiler to crisp the bacon if it's not quite there.
I quartered and parboiled (maybe 4-5 minutes) some small Yukon golds and put them underneath the chicken tenders, which were on a rack. Drippings from the bacon and chicken flavor them marvelously. You want to line your pan with foil for this, or just throw it away. It's pretty horrible to clean up.
Mac and cheese -- I boil a pound of elbow macaroni in salted water and mix it with 3-4 tbsp of butter, 4 oz grated sharp cheddar, 4 oz Velveeta in small cubes, a splash of heavy cream and some whole milk. I don't measure. I will sometimes stick it in a baking dish and top with Parmigiano and breadcrumbs, and sometimes not. Guaranteed to do nasty things to your arteries and your cholesterol.
