Creating the Honey Pepper Chicken Mac and Cheese is a straightforward process. Follow these steps for a delicious result:

1. Cook the Pasta: Begin by boiling water in a large pot. Add elbow macaroni and cook according to package instructions until al dente. Drain and set aside.

2. Prepare Chicken: While the pasta cooks, cut the chicken breast into bite-sized pieces. Season with salt, pepper, garlic powder, and onion powder.

3. Cook Chicken: Heat olive oil in a skillet over medium heat. Add the seasoned chicken and cook until golden brown and cooked through, about 6-8 minutes.

4. Make the Sauce: In a separate saucepan, combine the milk, honey, and shredded cheeses (cheddar, mozzarella, and Parmesan). Stir over low heat until the cheese has melted and the sauce is smooth.

5. Combine Pasta and Sauce: Add the drained macaroni to the cheese sauce, mixing until well combined. Then, add the cooked chicken, folding it into the macaroni and cheese.

6. Adjust Seasoning: Taste and adjust seasoning if needed, adding more pepper or salt to suit your preferences.

7. Bake (Optional): For a crispy topping, transfer the mixture to a baking dish. Sprinkle additional cheese on top and bake in a preheated oven at 350°F (175°C) for about 15-20 minutes, or until the cheese is bubbly and golden.

8. Garnish: Once done, remove from the oven and let it cool for a few minutes. Garnish with chopped fresh parsley if desired.
