Ingredients

LEVEL 1 (BOTTOM OF POT)

  • 1 box (16 ounces) rotini pasta
  • 2 3/4 cups chicken stock
  • 1 1/2 cups whole milk
  • 1 block (16 ounces) processed melting cheese, cut in cubes
  • 2 packets (1 ounce each) ranch seasoning
  • 1/2 cup bacon bits

LEVEL 2 (CRISPER TRAY)

  • 8 frozen breaded chicken tenderloins

OPTIONAL TOPPINGS

  • Fresh chopped parsley, as desired
  • Ranch, as desired

Utensils needed

  • Measuring Cups
  • Silicone-Tipped Tongs

Instructions

Step 1
Place all Level 1 ingredients in the pot and stir until combined.

Step 2
Pull out the legs on the Crisper Tray, then place the tray in the elevated position in the pot, above the pasta. Place the chicken on top of the tray.

Step 3
Close the lid and flip the SmartSwitch™ to Rapid Cooker. Select SPEEDI MEALS, set temperature to 375°F, and set time to 10 minutes. Press START/STOP to begin cooking (the unit will steam for approx. 10 to 15 minutes before crisping).

Step 4
When cooking is complete, transfer chicken to a cutting board. Then use silicone-tipped tongs to grab the center handle and remove the tray from the unit. Stir the mac & cheese and serve with chicken, parsley, and ranch as desired.
