Instructions
Making Honey Pepper Chicken Pasta is simple. Follow these steps for a delicious outcome:
1. Cook the Pasta: Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Add the pasta and cook according to package instructions until al dente. Drain and set aside.
2. Prepare the Chicken: In a bowl, combine the chicken pieces with honey, black pepper, soy sauce, and a pinch of salt. Mix well to coat the chicken evenly.
3. Sauté the Chicken: Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the minced garlic and sauté for about 30 seconds until fragrant.
4. Cook the Chicken: Add the marinated chicken to the skillet. Cook for 5-7 minutes, or until the chicken is browned and cooked through, stirring occasionally.
5. Add the Vegetables: Once the chicken is cooked, add the sliced bell peppers and cook for another 3-4 minutes until the peppers are tender yet crisp.
6. Combine with Pasta: Add the cooked pasta to the skillet, tossing everything together to combine. If the mixture seems dry, you can add a splash of water or extra soy sauce.
7. Garnish: Remove from heat and top with chopped green onions. If desired, sprinkle with crushed red pepper flakes for added spice.
8. Serve Immediately: Enjoy your Honey Pepper Chicken Pasta warm.
