Easy Honey Pepper Chicken Pasta: An Incredible 5-Ingredient Recipe

  • Author: Lordibra
  • Prep Time: 15 minutes
  • Cook Time: 20 minutes
  • Total Time: 35 minutes

Ingredients

– 8 ounces of pasta (any shape)
– 2 chicken breasts, diced
– 1/3 cup honey
– 1 tablespoon black pepper (adjust to taste)
– 2 tablespoons olive oil
– Salt to taste
– Fresh herbs (optional, for garnish)


Instructions

Getting started with Easy Honey Pepper Chicken Pasta is a breeze when you follow these simple steps:

1. Cook the Pasta: Begin by boiling a pot of salted water. Add the pasta and cook according to the package instructions until al dente. Drain and set aside.

2. Prepare the Chicken: While the pasta is cooking, heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the diced chicken breasts to the skillet and sprinkle with salt.

3. Sear the Chicken: Cook the chicken until it is golden brown and cooked through, approximately 5-7 minutes. Ensure that no pink remains in the center.

4. Add Honey and Pepper: Once the chicken is cooked, pour in the honey and add the black pepper. Stir well to coat the chicken evenly. The honey will create a sticky glaze that enhances the flavor.

5. Combine with Pasta: Add the drained pasta to the skillet with the honey-pepper chicken. Toss everything together until the pasta is well-coated with the sauce. Adjust seasoning if needed.

6. Cook Together: Allow the pasta and chicken to cook together for another 2-3 minutes, allowing the flavors to meld.

7. Serve Immediately: Once everything is mixed and warmed through, remove from heat.
