- Combine Pasta and Cheese:
Add the cooked and drained pasta to the cheese sauce. Stir until the noodles are evenly coated and creamy. Fold in the cooked, crumbled bacon for extra flavor. - Glaze the Chicken:
Dip each cooked chicken strip into the honey pepper sauce until thoroughly coated. For extra flavor, let the chicken rest in the sauce for a few minutes before serving. - Assemble and Serve:
To serve, scoop a generous portion of mac and cheese into each bowl or plate. Top with a few glazed chicken strips. Garnish with additional bacon crumbles and chopped fresh basil. Drizzle more honey pepper sauce over the top if desired for extra flavor.
Enjoy: This dish is best served hot and fresh but also makes delicious leftovers. Store in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Reheat gently to avoid separating the cheese sauce.
