Low FODMAP creamy mac and cheese with chicken and spinach
Today, I made one my favorite recipes from when I was a kid low FODMAP. A delicious low FODMAP creamy mac and cheese with chicken and spinach.
My mum used to make this mac and cheese with chicken, spinach, mushrooms and a lot of grated cheese. This low FODMAP version doesn’t contain mushrooms, but is just as good!
