Follow these steps to create the amazing Honey Pepper Chicken Mac and Cheese:

1. Cook the Pasta: In a large pot, boil water and add a pinch of salt. Cook the elbow macaroni according to the package instructions until al dente. Drain and set aside.

2. Prepare the Chicken: In a skillet over medium heat, melt 1 tablespoon of butter. Season the chicken breasts with garlic powder, onion powder, and black pepper. Cook for about 6-7 minutes on each side or until the chicken is cooked through. Remove from heat and drizzle with honey. Let it rest for a few minutes, then slice into bite-sized pieces.

3. Make the Cheese Sauce: In the same skillet, add the remaining butter and let it melt. Stir in the flour, cooking for about 1 minute. Gradually pour in the milk while whisking constantly to avoid lumps. Cook until the mixture thickens and bubbles. Mix in the cheddar cheese until melted, then add the mozzarella cheese, stirring until smooth. Add salt to taste.

4. Combine Chicken and Pasta: In a large mixing bowl, combine the cooked pasta with the cheese sauce and sliced honey pepper chicken. Stir until everything is evenly coated.

5. Bake (Optional): If desired, transfer the mixture to a greased baking dish. Top with additional cheese and breadcrumbs, then bake in a preheated oven at 350°F (175°C) for about 20-25 minutes, until bubbly and golden on top.
