Ingredients

For the Chicken Bites:

• 1 lb chicken breast, cubed
• Salt, pepper & paprika
• 1/2 cup flour (or cornstarch for crispiness)
• 2 tbsp oil for frying

Honey Pepper Sauce:

• 1/4 cup honey
• 2 tbsp soy sauce
• 1 tsp black pepper
• 1 tbsp hot sauce (optional)
• 1 clove garlic, minced

For the Pasta:

• 8 oz spaghetti or fettuccine
• 2 tbsp butter
• 4 cloves garlic, minced
• 1 cup heavy cream
• 1/2 cup grated Parmesan
• Salt & pepper to taste
• Fresh parsley for garnish

Instructions

1. Cook the Pasta: Boil pasta until al dente. Drain and set aside.
2. Fry the Chicken: Season chicken with salt, pepper, and paprika. Dredge in flour and pan-fry in oil until golden and crispy. Set aside.
3. Make the Honey Pepper Sauce: In a saucepan, combine honey, soy sauce, black pepper, hot sauce, and garlic. Simmer until slightly thickened. Toss fried chicken in the sauce.
4. Make the Creamy Pasta Sauce: In a skillet, melt butter and sauté garlic. Add heavy cream and Parmesan. Stir until creamy. Toss in cooked pasta and mix well.
5. Plate & Serve: Serve creamy garlic pasta with honey pepper chicken. Garnish with chopped parsley.

Methods

• Use cornstarch instead of flour for extra crispy chicken bites.
• Cook pasta slightly under al dente if you plan to toss it in hot sauce to avoid overcooking.
• Adjust the amount of hot sauce depending on your spice preference.
• Reserve some pasta water to loosen the sauce if it thickens too much.
