Ingredients
  

8 oz elbow macaroni

1 lb chicken breast, diced

1 cup sharp cheddar cheese, shredded

1 cup mozzarella cheese, shredded

1 cup heavy cream

2 tablespoons honey

1 teaspoon black pepper

1 teaspoon garlic powder

1 teaspoon onion powder

1 tablespoon olive oil

Salt to taste

Fresh parsley, chopped (for garnish)

Instructions
 

Cook the Pasta: In a large pot, bring salted water to a boil. Add the elbow macaroni and cook according to package instructions until al dente. Drain and set aside.

    Prepare the Chicken: In a large skillet over medium heat, add the olive oil. Once hot, add the diced chicken to the skillet. Season with salt, garlic powder, onion powder, and black pepper. Cook until the chicken is browned and cooked through, about 7-10 minutes. Remove the chicken from the skillet and set aside.

      Make the Cheese Sauce: In the same skillet, lower the heat and add the heavy cream, honey, and a pinch of salt. Stir while bringing to a gentle simmer. Add the cheddar and mozzarella cheeses gradually, stirring continuously until the cheeses are melted and the sauce is smooth.

        Combine: Add the cooked macaroni and chicken into the skillet with the cheese sauce. Stir until everything is evenly coated, and the mixture is heated through.

          Serve: Spoon the Creamy Honey Pepper Chicken Mac and Cheese Delight into bowls and garnish with fresh parsley. Enjoy your delicious meal!
