Honey Chipotle Chicken Mac & Cheese
Pan-seared chicken breast glazed in a sweet and spicy honey-chipotle sauce, served over a bed of creamy, protein-packed macaroni that feels incredibly indulgent.
INGREDIENTS
5 oz chicken breast
0.5 tbsp honey
1.5 tbsp chipotle hot sauce
1 tsp light butter
1 tsp minced garlic
0.25 tsp sea salt
0.25 tsp dried oregano
0.25 tsp smoked paprika
0.25 tsp garlic powder
0.25 tsp ground cumin
1.5 oz dry macaroni
0.25 cup fat-free evaporated milk
1 tbsp light cream cheese
1 tbsp low-fat cheddar cheese
1 tbsp chipotle hot sauce
0.5 tsp light butter
0.25 tsp garlic powder
0.25 tsp onion powder
0.25 tsp smoked paprika
0.25 tsp sea salt
1 tsp fresh parsley
PREPARATION
Dice the chicken breast into bite-sized cubes and toss thoroughly with the salt, oregano, paprika, garlic powder, and cumin.
Bring a pot of salted water to a boil, add the macaroni, and cook for approximately 8 minutes until tender, then drain and set aside.
Heat a large skillet over medium heat with 1 tsp of light butter and sear the chicken for 4-5 minutes per side until golden and cooked through.
Lower the heat and stir in the honey, 1.5 tbsp chipotle sauce, and minced garlic, tossing until the chicken is sticky and well-coated.
In a separate saucepan over low heat, toast the sauce spices in 0.5 tsp butter for 30 seconds before whisking in the evaporated milk, cream cheese, and remaining chipotle sauce.
Whisk in the cheddar cheese until the sauce is smooth, then fold in the cooked macaroni and top with the glazed chicken and fresh parsley.
