How To Make macaroni and cheese stuffed roasted chicken

• Step 1
  Place the chicken in a large pot of salted water. Make sure the chicken is covered. Add the celery stalk and parsley sprigs. Bring to a boil, cover, and cook until tender; 1 hour or more, depending on how big the chicken is.
• Step 2
  While the chicken is cooking, cook the macaroni in boiling salted water. Drain, reserving one cup of pasta water.
• Step 3
  Whisk the butter and flour together in a pan and then slowly add the reserved pasta water and heavy cream. Whisk until thickened and add the nutmeg and season with salt and pepper.
• Step 4
  Mix the macaroni into half of the sauce.
• Step 5
  Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F. Place the chicken in a roasting pan.
• Step 6
  Fill the cavity with the macaroni mixture. Place any extra around the chicken. Pour the remaining sauce over the chicken and top with cheese.
• Step 7
  Roast for about 15 minutes until the cheese is golden.
