Ingredients:
For the Honey Pepper Chicken:
- 2 boneless, skinless chicken breasts
- Salt and pepper to taste
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 1/2 cup honey
- 1/4 cup soy sauce
- 1 tablespoon apple cider vinegar
- 1 teaspoon ground black pepper
- 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1/2 teaspoon onion powder
- 1/4 teaspoon ground cayenne pepper
For the Creamy Macaroni Cheese:
- 8 ounces macaroni pasta
- 2 tablespoons butter
- 2 tablespoons all-purpose flour
- 2 cups milk
- 2 cups shredded sharp cheddar cheese
- 1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
- Salt and pepper to taste
- Chopped parsley for garnish
Directions:
- Prepare the Chicken:
- Season the chicken breasts with salt and pepper. Heat olive oil in a skillet over medium heat and cook the chicken until golden and cooked through, about 6-7 minutes per side. Remove from the skillet and set aside.
- Make the Honey Pepper Sauce:
- In the same skillet, combine honey, soy sauce, apple cider vinegar, ground black pepper, garlic powder, onion powder, and ground cayenne pepper. Simmer the mixture, stirring occasionally, until slightly thickened, about 2-3 minutes.
- Combine Chicken with Sauce:
- Slice the cooked chicken into strips and return it to the skillet with the honey pepper sauce. Coat the chicken evenly with the sauce and set aside.
- Prepare the Macaroni Cheese:
- Cook the macaroni pasta according to package instructions. Drain and set aside.
- In a separate pot, melt butter over medium heat. Stir in the flour and cook for about 1 minute, stirring constantly. Gradually whisk in the milk until smooth. Continue cooking and stirring until the sauce thickens, about 2-3 minutes.
- Remove from heat and stir in the shredded cheddar and mozzarella cheese until melted and smooth. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
- Combine Pasta and Cheese Sauce:
- Toss the cooked macaroni with the cheese sauce until well coated.
- Serve:
- Plate the creamy macaroni cheese and top with the honey pepper chicken. Garnish with chopped parsley for a fresh touch.
