Down-home Mac-n-Cheese/Made-up Italian Chicken Breast

The boxed Mac-n-cheese is just fine in a pinch, but I think I'm completely converted to the Down-home Mac-n-cheese whenever I have more than 15 minutes for a meal.  Easy and delicious.  I served it with a made-up Italian chicken breast recipe and peas on the side.
