Important Cooking Notes

- When seasoning the chicken, make sure it’s well seasoned by adding more spices if needed
- 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
- Best to reheat this in a microwave or a pan with a splash of milk to make it creamy again!
