FOUR-CHEESE MACARONI WITH CHICKEN

I found this recipe on Muscle and Fitness's site. I am making it tonight except I am keeping the chicken seperate from the mac-n-cheese. I thought I'd post it incase someone else wanted to try it too. Nutirtional information is also posted with it.

Here is where I found it.... http://www.muscleandfitness.com/nutrition/recipes/37

>> 9 oz. dry macaroni noodles

>> 3 oz. reduced-fat Monterey Jack cheese
>> 11⁄2 oz. American cheese
>> 11⁄2 oz. reduced-fat mozzarella cheese
>> 1 cup fat-free milk
>> 1 tsp. white pepper

Directions
START: Cook chicken breasts on an indoor or outdoor grill, cut into small pieces and set aside. In a medium saucepan, bring 6 cups of water to a boil. Grate all cheeses and set aside. COOK: Add macaroni to boiling water and reduce heat to medium. Cook about 10 minutes or per package directions. Pour water and macaroni into a strainer, then return macaroni to pan.
