Marnie's Nacho Mac-n-Cheese

Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Add the penne noodles and cook according to package directions until al dente, then drain and set aside.

Cut the Velveeta cheese into cubes for easier melting.

In a large saucepan or skillet, combine the cubed Velveeta cheese and salsa over medium heat. Stir frequently until the cheese is completely melted and blended with the salsa into a smooth sauce, about 5-7 minutes.

Add the cooked penne noodles to the cheese and salsa mixture and stir until all noodles are evenly coated.

Gently fold in the cooked chicken strips, distributing them throughout the mac-and-cheese mixture.

Transfer the Nacho Mac-n-Cheese to a serving dish and serve warm while the cheese sauce is creamy.
