This recipe is our own take on macaroni and cheese, with vegan chicken and Cap’n Crunch cereal. It is absolutely delicious and is a big hit in our house. Cap’n Crunch cereal is not widely available in Australia, but can be purchased through various importers of American foods. We get ours online from USA Foods in Melbourne.
