Ingredients
Scale
1.5 lbs of boneless, skinless chicken breasts
¼ cup of honey
4 cloves of garlic, minced
½ cup of butter
8 oz of macaroni pasta
2 cups of shredded cheddar cheese
1 cup of milk
Salt and pepper to taste
2 tbsp of chopped parsley for garnish
Instructions
Start by washing the chicken breasts under cold water and patting them dry with a paper towel. Trim any excess fat, then cut the breasts into bite-sized pieces. Season with salt and pepper.
In a large skillet over medium heat, melt the butter and add the minced garlic. Sauté for about 1-2 minutes until fragrant but not browned. Stir in the honey and mix well until fully combined. Allow it to simmer gently for about 5 minutes.
Add the chicken pieces to the skillet and coat them in the honey garlic butter sauce. Cook for approximately 10-12 minutes until golden brown and cooked through.
While the chicken cooks, bring a pot of salted water to a boil and cook the macaroni according to package instructions. Drain and set aside. In the same pot, add the milk and gradually stir in the cheddar cheese until creamy. Fold in the cooked macaroni.
Once the chicken is ready, mix it into the mac and cheese. Let it simmer for a few minutes to meld flavors. Garnish with parsley before serving.
