Cooking Instructions
- Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Add the penne pasta and cook until al dente, about 8-10 minutes. Drain and toss with 1 tablespoon of olive oil to prevent sticking.
- Season the chicken breasts with salt and black pepper. In a large skillet, heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil and 1 tablespoon of butter over medium heat. Sauté the chicken for 5-7 minutes until golden brown and cooked through. Remove from the skillet and set aside.
- In the same skillet, add the minced garlic and sauté for about 30 seconds until fragrant, stirring frequently to avoid burning.
- Pour in the chicken broth, heavy cream, honey, soy sauce, and crushed red pepper flakes. Let the mixture simmer for 3-5 minutes, stirring occasionally, until it slightly thickens and becomes creamy.
- Return the cooked chicken to the skillet, stirring to coat each piece in the luscious sauce.
- Stir in the grated Parmesan cheese, mixing until it's melted and gives the sauce a rich, creamy texture.
- Add the cooked penne to the skillet and toss gently to combine, ensuring each piece is well coated in the sauce.
- Plate the pasta and garnish with chopped parsley and extra grated Parmesan for a delightful finish.
