- Cook the chicken on medium heat for 6-8 mins till golden brown then set aside
- Cook the onions and peppers for 5mins at least till soft and fragrant
- When adding the milk and cream cheese make sure the heat is on LOW to prevent the creamy sauce from splitting
- Cook the macaroni in boiling water for 7-8 mins then drain and remove
- After adding the macaroni and chicken back in the pan, give it all a final mix till well combined

Holy fuck this looks amazing. You know im gonna be visiting thos channel every day when i move out man

[niyahhbaby]

I made this with chickpea pasta instead (for more protein) and this came out soooo good and filling! People are saying it’d be hard to lose weight with this recipe in the comments, but I don’t agree. I can visually see a difference in my body after eating these meals. Definitely try it out

[MAT-wnfr]

The timing of this vid is funny. I was planning to make mac n cheese tonight and was looking at recipes.

[robertamedranocallejas]

My boyfriend made this for me and it was the best mac and cheese I've ever eaten, no exaggeration

[perksofbeingtonyaa]

Made this recipe tonight, it was ABSOLUTELY DELICIOUS. I usually meal prep and have experimented with cheesy pasta before, but nothing like this I was super happy and impressed. Will definitely be trying out more recipes! Thank you! 😊

[TwinCityShredder]

Everything I've made on this channel is amazing! Only problem is eating 1 serving.

[ImBarryScottCSS]

It would be sick if you could put a macro card somewhere in the short, just for a second so we could pause on it. I know its in the description but YT makes it increasingly more and more awkward to actually view descriptions.

[yadali]

You deserve a sub and i hope you get 1m subs one day :)

[andrewstewart]

Made this tonight and it was a family favorite🔥 topped with a little tajin and Chalula sauce for extra spice

[motivationalspeaker]

I want to say to anyone who may be worried about cooking the chicken in butter, you can cook the chicken breasts in the oven on 180 degrees Celsius for 25 minutes. This is an alternative method for those on stricter diets ❤

[ATwoJ]

I don’t know why some people are saying the macros are not correct, they are. I got all my ingredients from the UK(where Jalal is from), products may differ from country to country. Mine actually came out less calories from the ingredients I used.

The only thing I will say is that the cheesy sauce didn’t come like yours.. but I get it, social media videos need to be glamourised/enhanced to sell.

Food is great btw, keep doing your thing bro!

[Zephaniah.Aguirre]

Ooo. Will have to make this for my husband. ☺️ Thanks for sharing! 💙

[cfcsk]

Just made this and its certified guys. Real banger.

[mzmore]

Tried this tonight and the family loves it! Thanks for the recipe.

" Until you lose patience "😂😂😂

[Cedricbennettjr]

Ha "Mix til you lose patience" that's awesome...

[creatorliz]

Looks great! I bought your cookbook and tried to search for this recipe, but it's not included. Also, in your cookbook, fajita seasoning in every recipe is different. Can you post the fajita seasoning measurements for this one?

[jeanueuh]

Made it and it came out to 900 calories, but MAN it was good, 10/10 meal prep

On a side note, microwaving caused the top layer to develop a leathery texture that im not too sure how to fix...

[Slaarduk]

What song is playing on the background? Or, rather, what version of the song?
Also, banging recipe, going to try it out tomorrow.

[tblk]

All of your food looks so good. can you cook for me?
