Blanch the carrots: after parboiling carrots make sure to soak them in ice cold water to keep them tender crisp.Mix in large bowl and transfer to a serving dish if you can. Mix salad in a big bowl: I have found out when preparing this salad before that mixing in a big bowl will prevent you from spilling over the edges when mixing all the ingredients together.Make sure not to overcook the pasta: If you overcook your macaroni noodles they will be too soft and when you try to put together your salad they could be sticky.Refrigerate for 1 hour to cool completely and allow ingredients to meld. Gently stir together until evenly distributed. In a large bowl, combine macaroni, shredded chicken, raisins, carrots, bell peppers, onion, pineapple tidbits, mayo, sweet relish, and shredded cheese. Meanwhile prepare other ingredients, peel and dice carrots, onion and remove seeds of bell pepper then dice. Cook elbow macaroni in lightly salted water or according to packaging instructions. Let it cool and shred chicken using fork or hand. Boil chicken breast for 15-20 minutes until cook through. Cheese: you can use eden or cheddar cheese.
