Honey BBQ Chicken with Mac n’ Cheese

Take sweet honey BBQ Chicken and pair it with creamy mac and cheese and you have one epic bit of meal prep. Our Mac Daddy Seasoning brings in an extra punch of bold, cheesy goodness that pairs perfectly with the chicken. It’s such a good combo…
This will store well in the fridge for around 3 days so you can get ahead of the week and pull out a portion when you’re chasing something tasty.
