Ingredients
- 12 oz twisted pasta (fusilli or rotini)
- 2 boneless, skinless chicken breasts
- 3 tablespoons honey
- 3 cloves garlic, minced
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 cup heavy cream
- 1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese
- 1 tablespoon butter
- Salt and pepper to taste
- Fresh parsley, chopped (for garnish)
- Optional: red pepper flakes for a slight kick
Directions
- Cook the twisted pasta in a large pot of salted boiling water according to package instructions until al dente. Drain and set aside.
- While the pasta cooks, prepare the honey garlic chicken. Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat.
- Season the chicken breasts with salt and pepper. Add to the skillet and cook for about 5-6 minutes per side, or until fully cooked and golden brown.
- Remove the chicken from the skillet and let rest. In the same skillet, reduce heat to medium-low and add minced garlic. Sauté until fragrant, about 1 minute.
- Stir in honey and cook for another 1-2 minutes, allowing it to caramelize slightly.
- Slice the cooked chicken into strips and return to the skillet, tossing to coat evenly with the honey garlic sauce. Remove from heat.
- In a separate saucepan, melt butter over medium heat. Pour in heavy cream and bring to a gentle simmer.
- Stir in grated Parmesan cheese until melted and smooth. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
- Toss the cooked pasta with the Parmesan cream sauce until well coated.
- Plate the creamy pasta and top with honey garlic chicken strips.
- Garnish with chopped fresh parsley and, if desired, sprinkle with red pepper flakes for a touch of heat.
