Ingredients
½ cup macaroni
1½ cups cooked chicken, shredded
½ cup mozzarella cheese
3 tomatoes, chopped
2 sprigs fresh dill, chopped
2 garlic cloves, minced
2 tablespoons olive oil
1 teaspoon tomato paste
Salt, to taste
Instructions
Remove bones from cooked chicken thighs if needed and shred the meat.
In a non-stick pan over medium-high heat, add chicken, chopped tomatoes, olive oil, and garlic. Cook for 3–4 minutes until it resembles a loose tomato sauce.
Add about ¼ cup water, tomato paste, salt, macaroni, and dill. Stir well. The pasta should be just covered by the sauce.
Cook until macaroni is tender (about 3 minutes, depending on the brand).
Stir in mozzarella and let it melt into a cheesy tomato sauce.
Serve immediately.
Notes
Use quick-cooking macaroni for best results.
Leftover rotisserie chicken works perfectly here.
Add a splash of water if the sauce thickens too quickly.
