# Steps:
01 -
Scoop those shiny honey garlic butter chicken bites over that cheesy macaroni. Jump in and eat right away, or pack it up for later.
02 -
Dump the drained macaroni into the cheesy sauce and stir while it hangs out on low for 5 minutes. Get that pasta all gooey and coated.
03 -
Cook macaroni in salty water as the box says, till still a bit firm. Drain, then rinse with cold water so it stops cooking.
04 -
Stir cheddar, mozzarella, paprika, garlic powder, salt, and pepper in. Mix till the cheese is melted and the sauce is smooth and stretchy.
05 -
Throw butter in the same pan over medium. Add garlic and cook for 2-3 minutes till it's golden and smells awesome. Pour in cream and gently heat.
06 -
Lower the heat, add butter, honey, and chopped parsley to the chicken in the pan. Toss until glossy. Take out the chicken and keep it aside.
07 -
Heat a big pan on medium. Add avocado oil, throw in the marinated chicken, and cook 10-15 minutes, flipping now and then, till golden and cooked through.
08 -
Toss chicken pieces with olive oil, minced garlic, smoked paprika, garlic powder, dried parsley, salt, and pepper in a big bowl. Let it sit for 10 minutes.
# Notes:
01 -
For an extra creamy result, don’t mix the macaroni with the sauce until you’re ready to eat. Meal prep containers work great here.
