Ingredients

– 2 cups elbow macaroni
– 1 pound chicken breast, diced
– 1 tablespoon olive oil
– 1 cup grated cheddar cheese
– 1 cup grated mozzarella cheese
– ½ cup cream cheese
– ½ cup honey
– 1 teaspoon black pepper

– 1 teaspoon onion powder
– Salt to taste
– 2 tablespoons chopped parsley (optional, for garnish)


Instructions

Making Creamy Honey Pepper Chicken Mac and Cheese Delight is a straightforward process that yields rewarding results. Just follow these simple steps:

1. Cook the Macaroni: Start by boiling a saucepan of salted water. Add the elbow macaroni and cook according to package instructions until al dente. Drain and set aside.

2. Sauté the Chicken: In a large skillet, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the diced chicken, seasoning it with salt, garlic powder, and onion powder. Cook until the chicken is browned and cooked through, approximately 5-7 minutes.

3. Combine the Cheeses: Lower the heat and add the cream cheese to the skillet with the chicken. Stir until melted and creamy. Then, mix in the cheddar and mozzarella cheese until fully incorporated.

4. Mix in the Honey and Pepper: Pour in the honey and sprinkle the black pepper into the skillet. Stir well to combine all the flavors, allowing the sweetness and spice to meld with the cheese mixture.

5. Add the Macaroni: Carefully fold in the cooked macaroni, ensuring it’s evenly coated with the creamy cheese mixture. Cook for an extra 2-3 minutes, allowing everything to heat through.

6. Taste and Adjust Seasoning: Check the seasoning and adjust salt or pepper as needed to suit your taste preferences.

7. Serve Hot: Once everything is harmoniously combined and warmed through, remove from heat. Transfer to serving bowls or a platter, and garnish with chopped parsley before serving.

With these simple steps, you’ll have an incredible dish ready to be enjoyed!
