Ingredients
Scale
- 2 boneless, skinless chicken breasts, sliced into strips
- 8 oz of your favorite pasta (penne, spaghetti, or fusilli)
- 3 tablespoons honey
- 1 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 2 tablespoons soy sauce or tamari
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- Salt to taste
- Optional: chopped green onions and sesame seeds for garnish
Instructions
- Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil and cook the pasta until al dente. Drain and set aside.
- Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add sliced chicken, season with salt and pepper, then cook until browned and cooked through, about 5-7 minutes. Remove chicken from skillet and set aside.
- In the same skillet, add minced garlic and cook for 1 minute until fragrant. Stir in honey and soy sauce, scraping up browned bits. Simmer for 2-3 minutes until slightly thickened.
- Return the cooked chicken to the skillet and toss to coat with the sauce. Add cooked pasta and mix well until evenly coated. Garnish with chopped green onions and sesame seeds if desired before serving.
Notes
- You can substitute chicken thighs for breasts for a juicier option.
- Use gluten-free pasta and soy sauce for gluten-free diet options.
- Adjust honey and pepper quantities to taste for sweetness and spice level.
