I'd do both, because mac n' cheese is great, but only when accompanied by a tasty meat, and chicken is great but only when accompanied by a tasty side(s).
(But the mom in me says): don't forget your veggies! I always use frozen veggies, as they keep well.
This would be(a mom's) version of this dinner:
Chicken(Bone/skinless, it's easier to cut up into toddler-sized pieces), cooked any way is easiest
Baked Mac N' Cheese
Mixed veggies or Broccoli(my daughter,age 2 actually enjoys broccoli better!go figure)
I'd put the chicken and veggies in one of those season n' bag things, or just the chicken in a shake n' bake, as these are the less prep options, but that's just me.
Also, there's a great recipe for baked mac and cheese on the website below. I also add bread crumbs and omit the ham, and add 4 oz. of white cheddar cheese, but that's just me!
hope I could help!

Well, if you think about the new food pyramid, mac and cheese is probably healthier. It contains both grains and dairy. Chicken (or meats) is required 2nd to last. Both can make quick and easy meals. If you like, have both with a salad or other green veggie.
