食材

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

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

步驟

Start by seasoning 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, approximately 6-7 minutes per side.

Once done, remove the chicken from the skillet and set it aside.

In the same skillet, combine honey, soy sauce, apple cider vinegar, ground black pepper, garlic powder, onion powder, and ground cayenne pepper. Allow the mixture to simmer until slightly thickened, stirring occasionally, for about 2-3 minutes.

Slice the cooked chicken into strips and return them to the skillet with the honey pepper sauce.

Coat the chicken evenly with the sauce and set it aside while you prepare the macaroni cheese.

Cook the macaroni pasta according to the package instructions, then drain and set it 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 to cook, stirring constantly, until the sauce thickens, approximately 2-3 minutes.

Remove the pot from the heat and stir in the shredded cheddar and mozzarella cheese until melted and smooth. Season the sauce with salt and pepper to taste.

Combine the cooked pasta with the cheese sauce until well coated.

To serve, plate the creamy macaroni cheese and top it with the honey pepper chicken. Garnish with chopped parsley for a pop of freshness.
