Creamy Honey Pepper Chicken Mac and Cheese Delight

Serve the mac and cheese immediately while it’s warm for the best texture.

Leftovers can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Reheat gently on the stovetop, adding a splash of milk or cream to restore creaminess.

Variations:

For extra flavor, add sautéed vegetables such as spinach or bell peppers to the mac and cheese.

Swap the chicken breast for chicken thighs for a juicier option.

Use a different type of pasta like penne or shells for a unique twist.

FAQ:

Can I use a different type of cheese?
Yes! Feel free to swap out the cheddar or mozzarella for any cheese you prefer. Gouda, Gruyère, or fontina would also work well.

Can I make this dish ahead of time?
You can prepare the mac and cheese and chicken separately in advance, then assemble and reheat before serving.

Can I use a different sweetener instead of honey?
Yes, you can substitute honey with maple syrup or agave for a different sweet profile.
