Ultra creamy and savory homemade 4 cheese mac and cheese is topped with incredibly crunchy buttermilk fried chicken tenders, glazed with a lip-smacking honey pepper sauce. A mouthful to say, but once you try one bite,
you’ll be too busy chowing down to worry about the name! Every single time we go to Applebee’s, I order it… with no shame lol. And ever since that first bite, I’ve been meaning to come up with a great copycat version… because let’s face it, I can’t eat out all the time, but I still crave that dish like no other! I freely admit that this is a recipe that is pretty time consuming, with a lot of ingredients and steps… don’t let that fool you though. Trust me, after the first bite, it’ll ALL be worth it! But if you wanted to save some time and work, here are some time savers: Ways to Make 4 Cheese Mac and Cheese with Honey Pepper Chicken Easier:
If you’ve followed some of the other copycat versions of this recipe, there’s one way that mine deviates… I use an Anaheim pepper in my cheese sauce. The reason for that, is that whenever I’ve had this dish at Applebee’s, it always has diced pepper in it. Although I wonder if that’s a regional thing, or maybe just certain cooks put it in, because I’ve never seen anyone else mention the pepper. So feel free to omit that completely if it’s not what you’re used to. I really hope you give this copycat 4 cheese mac and cheese with honey pepper chicken a try! It’s long and involved… certainly not a weeknight meal… but SO worth it! The creamy sauce contrasted with the crunchy chicken works so beautifully with the savory cheese sauce and sweet glazed chicken! Some Helpful Tools For This Recipe:Lodge Enameled Dutch Oven – hands down, my favorite pot to fry in! 5″ Spider Strainer – Safely remove fried foods with ease (this is also great for pasta!) House Autry Seasoned Flour – If you don’t want to make your own, this is a great alternative! Did you make this? Be sure to leave a review below and tag me @the_chunky_chef on Facebook and Instagram!
