Creating Honey Pepper Chicken Mac and Cheese is a simple process if you follow these steps:

1. Cook the Pasta: In a large pot of boiling salted water, cook the elbow macaroni according to package instructions until al dente. Drain and set aside.
2. Prepare the Chicken: In a skillet, heat olive oil over medium heat. Add diced cooked chicken, honey, black pepper, garlic powder, onion powder, and salt. Stir well to coat the chicken evenly. Cook for about 5-7 minutes until heated through and caramelized. Set aside.
3. Make the Cheese Sauce: In a separate saucepan, melt the butter over medium heat. Once melted, whisk in the flour and cook for about 1 minute until bubbly.
4. Add Milk: Gradually whisk in the milk, stirring continuously until the mixture thickens and is smooth. This will take about 5 minutes.
5. Incorporate the Cheeses: Remove the saucepan from heat and add the cheddar and mozzarella cheeses, stirring until melted and well combined. Add the Dijon mustard and paprika, mixing well.
6. Combine Ingredients: In a large mixing bowl, combine the cooked pasta, cheese sauce, and honey pepper chicken. Stir until everything is evenly coated.
7. Transfer to Baking Dish: Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C). Transfer the mac and cheese mixture to a greased baking dish.
8. Bake: Bake in the preheated oven for 15-20 minutes until heated through and the top is slightly golden.
9. Garnish: Remove from the oven and let it cool for a few minutes. Garnish with fresh parsley before serving.
