Ingredients:

Serving

4 slices white bread , torn into pieces
1/4 cup grated parmesan cheese
1 garlic clove, minced (fresh garlic goes a long way in this)
1/2 cup unsalted butter, melted
1 tsp salt
1 1/2 tsp pepper
1 lb elbow macaroni
6 tbsp all-purpose flour
1 tsp dry mustard
1/8 tsp cayenne pepper
4 1/4 cups low sodium chicken broth
1 1/2 cups heavy cream
2 cups shredded colby cheese ( i use tillamook brand
2 cups shredded extra-sharp cheddar cheese (again , tillamook)
1 (16 oz) can chicken , reserve the broth

Directions:

Pulse bread, Parmesan, garlic, and 2 tablespoons of butter in a food processor until coarsely ground. (Alternatively, using your hands to do such also works.).
Cook pasta as directed, drain it, and pour into a baking dish of choice.
Preheat the oven to 375 degrees, and make sure there is an oven rack in the middle position.
Heat remaining butter, flour, mustard, and cayenne over medium-high heat, stirring constantly, until golden, 1 to 2 minutes.
Slowly whisk in broth, drained chicken broth, and cream and bring to a boil.
Reduce heat to medium and simmer until slightly thickened, about 15 minutes.
Take the pot off the heat, and whisk in the cheese, chicken, salt, and pepper until smooth.
Mix the sauce in with the pasta, cover with aluminum foil, and bake in the middle oven rack for 20 minutes.
Remove the foil, top with breadcrumbs, and bake until the breadcrumbs are golden brown and crisp, about 20 minutes.
