Made macaroni with chicken and cheese. I used the pulp of chicken thighs, the bell pepper was frozen. The recipe was interesting because the pasta and meat are cooked in milk and in the same pan. Adding cheese added piquancy, the result was a dish in a creamy cheese express sauce))) It’s very tasty and without unnecessary problems! Thanks for the recipe, Julia M.!
