Tips
- Cook the chicken on medium high heat for 3-4 mins each side. Should get a nice golden brown crust and colour.
- Make sure you turn off the heat before adding the honey and bbq sauce - mix in well till each piece is coated.
- Make the mac sauce on low medium heat.
- Let the cream cheese get to room temperature before adding to the pan. Will help make the sauce very smooth!
