INGREDIENTS
- 1 cup low-fat buttermilk
- 1/4 cup pickle juice (optional)
- 1 tbsp Cajun seasoning, divided
- 1 ½ Tbsp. Knorr® Granulated Chicken Bouillon, divided
- 1 lb. boneless skinless chicken breasts, cut into small chunks
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- 1/4 cup cornstarch
- 1 tbsp baking powder
- 2 packages Knorr Cheddar Broccoli Pasta
- 3 cups water
- 1 cup low-fat milk
- Vegetable oil for frying
- ½ cup shredded three cheese reduced fat cheddar blend
DIRECTIONS
- Whisk together buttermilk, pickle juice (optional), ½ Tbsp Cajun seasoning, and 1 Tbsp Bouillon in large bowl until well blended. Fully submerge chicken in mixture. Set aside.
- In separate shallow bowl, whisk together flour, baking powder, cornstarch, and remaining ½ Tbsp. each Bouillon and Cajun seasoning until blended. Drizzle 2 Tbsp. buttermilk mixture into flour mixture and gently mix with a fork to create a few clumps that will help form a thick crust.
- Pour vegetable oil into large skillet until about ½-inch deep. Heat over medium-high heat until 350°. Dredge chicken pieces into flour mixture gently pressing, including any clumps, to help form a thick crust. Continue until all chicken pieces are well coated. Set aside
- Meanwhile, prepare Knorr Sides using the milk and water, following package directions.
- Add chicken to hot oil (in batches if necessary) and fry 5 minutes, turning occasionally until chicken is browned and thoroughly cooked.
- To build your Knorr Famous Mac and Cheese bowl, evenly spoon Knorr sides into 4 serving bowls, then evenly top with crispy chicken and shredded cheddar cheese.
