For our last meal of the school year we are picking a student favorite...BBQ chicken and mac-n-cheese! Each meal comes with a BBQ'd chicken thigh (or tofu for our vegetarian version) and a very generous portion of mac-n-cheese. This meal is comfort food guaranteed to satisfy.
Each meal serves 1 person *We recommend ordering a side salad of coleslaw to compliment your meal. Ingredients: chicken thigh (or tofu), paprika, cumin, chili powder, sugar, BBQ sauce (tomato puree, sugar, vinegar, molasses, salt, natural smoke flavor, mustard flour, onions, garlic), elbow macaroni pasta, cheddar cheese, milk, butter, pepper and salt. |
