I couldn't locate the wheel macaroni so I used Radiatori instead...I made this for a huge potluck so I doubled the recipe...it worked great...there wasn't any left after the event...the hubby and I both loved the flavors...I saved a cup full to try the next day...you could make this a day ahead...I cooked the macaroni and shredded the chicken...once I got to our event (RV trip)...I assembled the rest of the ingredients...even without doubling the recipe it makes a lot...so make sure you have a huge bowl handy...made for "First Time" tag game...
