Fried Chicken Mac & Cheese Bowl

What is it?

Breaded fried chicken strips sit over cavatappi pasta in a cheddar cheese sauce in this 11.85-ounce frozen bowl. It’s a microwave meal, so the chicken and pasta heat together, with the spiral-shaped cavatappi helping catch the sauce. Per bowl, it has 25 grams of protein and about 590 calories. Compared with other Marie Callender’s bowls, this one leans into a two-part format: fried chicken on top, mac and cheese underneath. The breaded chicken is cut into strips rather than chunks, and the sauce is a standard cheddar-style cheese sauce rather than a baked casserole base.
