Creamy Honey Pepper Chicken Mac and Cheese Delight

Ingredients for Creamy Honey Pepper Chicken Mac and Cheese Delight

For the Pasta and Chicken:

• Elbow Macaroni or Cavatappi Pasta: The pasta is the foundation of this dish. Elbow macaroni or cavatappi works perfectly to hold the creamy cheese sauce, ensuring every bite is filled with flavor.
• Boneless Chicken Breast: The chicken is marinated with seasonings to provide a flavorful, golden coating, giving the dish an extra boost of protein and taste.
• Olive Oil: Used to cook the chicken and provide a slight crispness to the exterior, olive oil helps enhance the flavor profile.
• Butter: A touch of butter is used to sauté the chicken and bring richness to the honey sauce.
• Honey: Honey adds a natural sweetness, balancing the heat from the black pepper and enhancing the savory flavors of the chicken and cheese.
• Black Pepper: A sprinkle of black pepper provides a gentle heat that complements the sweetness of the honey and the creaminess of the cheese sauce.
• Paprika, Garlic Powder, Onion Powder, Salt: These spices and seasonings contribute a depth of flavor that makes the chicken perfectly seasoned.
