I can guarantee that whenever you open my fridge, you will find a drawer full of cheese. Yep, there might not be much of anything else…but there will ALWAYS be cheese.

I used to tease my boys and call them little mice because they ate so much cheese. I guess at this point, they are gigantic rats! While most people have bread and milk on their weekly shopping list, I have cheese and more cheese on my list. Seriously, I would estimate that probably 80 – 90% of our meals include cheese.

Being the cheese fanatics that we are, we know good cheese. So trust me when I tell you, Cabot Cheese is good cheese!

Evenly spread the chicken and veggies onto a 18″x13″ baking sheet.
Roast in oven for 20 – 25 minutes, until veggies are tender and chicken is cooked through.
While the fajitas cook, prepare the mac & cheese by melting the butter in a large saucepan.
Combine flour, 1 teaspoon salt, and mustard then add to melted butter and whisk until smooth.
Cook the mixture for about a minute until lightly browned.
Add milk and cream, stir constantly while cooking on medium high until mixture boils and thickens and cook for 4 – 5 minutes.
Remove from heat and add 2 cups of cheese, stirring until melted.
Add the cooked noodles to the cheese sauce, taste and season with additional salt and pepper if needed.
Once the fajita mixture is ready, pour the prepared mac & cheese over the chicken and veggies.
Mix the remaining cup of cheese with the Panko and sprinkle on top of the mac & cheese.
Place under the broiler for 2 – 3 minutes until cheese golden and bubbly.
Serve in bowls or serve in warmed tortillas if desired.
