Ingredients
Scale
- 2 cups cooked pasta (penne, fettuccine, or spaghetti)
- 1 lb boneless, skinless chicken breasts or thighs, sliced into strips
- 3 tbsp honey
- 2 tbsp black pepper, freshly ground
- 2 tbsp soy sauce
- 1 tbsp olive oil
- 3 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 small onion, chopped
- Optional garnish: chopped green onions, sesame seeds, or red pepper flakes
Instructions
- Cook your preferred pasta according to package instructions until al dente. Drain and set aside.
- Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the sliced chicken and cook until golden brown and cooked through, about 5-7 minutes. Remove from skillet and set aside.
- In the same skillet, add the chopped onion and minced garlic, sautéing until fragrant. Stir in the soy sauce, honey, and freshly ground black pepper. Cook for 2-3 minutes until the sauce thickens slightly.
- Add the cooked chicken back into the skillet with the sauce. Mix well to coat the chicken evenly. Toss in the cooked pasta and stir to combine thoroughly. Cook for another 2 minutes to meld flavors.
- Transfer to serving bowls. Garnish with chopped green onions, sesame seeds, or red pepper flakes. Serve hot and enjoy!
Notes
- Feel free to substitute chicken with shrimp, tofu, or beef for variety.
- For a less spicy version, reduce the amount of black pepper.
- If the sauce thickens too much, stir in a splash of water or chicken broth to loosen it up.
