HOW TO MAKE JERK CHICKEN W/ STUFFED MAC & CHEESE SHELLS

STEP 3:
Boil the jumbo shells according to the package instructions. Drain and let cool.

STEP 4:
Shred the chicken, then stuff the shells and add them to a greased baking dish.

STEP 5:
To make the cheese sauce, melt the butter and then stir in flour until fully combined. Slowly stir in the half and half while making sure there are no lumps. Add in ⅔ of the shredded cheese (saving the final ⅓ for the top. ) Stir until melted. 

STEP 6:
Pour the cheese over the shells and top with the remaining shredded cheese. Bake in an oven at 350°F (177°C) for 35 minutes. Serve while hot. Enjoy!
