Ingredients
– 8 oz twisted pasta (e.g., fusilli or gemelli)
– 2 boneless, skinless chicken breasts

– 1 cup grated Parmesan cheese

– Fresh parsley, chopped (for garnish)
Instructions
Creating Twisted Pasta with Honey Garlic Chicken and Parmesan Cream is a breeze if you follow these simple steps:
1. Cook the Pasta: Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Add the twisted pasta and cook according to package instructions until al dente. Drain and set aside.
2. Prepare the Chicken: Season the chicken breasts with salt and pepper on both sides.
3. Sear the Chicken: In a large skillet, heat olive oil over medium-high heat. Add the seasoned chicken breasts and cook for 5-7 minutes on each side until golden brown and cooked through. Remove from the skillet and let rest for a few minutes before slicing.
4. Make the Sauce: In the same skillet, reduce the heat to medium and add minced garlic. Sauté for about 30 seconds until fragrant.
5. Add Honey and Cream: Pour in the honey and heavy cream, stirring to combine. Bring the mixture to a gentle simmer.
6. Incorporate Parmesan: Gradually add the grated Parmesan cheese to the sauce, stirring continuously until melted and smooth. If the sauce is too thick, you can add a splash of pasta water to reach your desired consistency.
7. Combine Pasta and Chicken: Add the cooked twisted pasta to the skillet with the sauce, tossing to coat. Slice the chicken breasts and lay them on top of the pasta.
8. Garnish and Serve: Sprinkle with fresh parsley for a pop of color and added flavor. Serve immediately while hot.
