Step-by-Step — How to Make It

1
Prep the chicken: Cut 800g chicken breast into cubes. Season with salt, pepper, garlic & onion powder, paprika and chilli flakes (optional). Toss with 2 tsp olive oil.
2
Cook for golden crust: Heat pan on medium, add 30g light butter. Add chicken in one layer — cook 4–5 mins per side until golden.
3
Finish chicken: Lower heat, add extra butter, 2 tsp garlic and 30g honey (in two batches). Stir until sticky and coat with parsley. Set aside.
4
Cook pasta: Boil salted water and cook 220g macaroni al dente. Drain and reserve a splash of pasta water.
5
Start garlic sauce: In same pan cook minced garlic 1–2 mins. Add 300ml skimmed milk and 160g light cream cheese. Whisk on low until smooth.
6
Season & thicken: Add salt, pepper, smoked paprika and nutmeg. Stir until sauce thickens.
7
Cheesy finish: Add 100g low fat cheddar. Stir until silky. Loosen with reserved pasta water if needed.

Combine: Toss cooked macaroni into sauce, then fold in chicken so honey garlic coats pasta.
9
Serve: Plate, garnish parsley and extra butter if desired. Meal-prep in airtight containers for up to 4 days.

Chef Notes & Tips

For extra protein add white beans or extra lean turkey. Swap milk for almond milk if needed. Avoid high heat when adding honey to keep glaze sticky. Great for meal-prep.
