Main Ingredients

  • 8 oz pasta (any shape you prefer)
  • 2 cups cooked chicken, shredded
  • 1 cup white cheddar cheese, shredded for rich flavor
  • 1/2 cup honey for sweetness
  • 1/2 cup heavy cream to create the sauce's creaminess
  • 2 tbsp butter for sautéing
  • 1 tsp garlic powder for added flavor
  • Salt and pepper to taste

Instructions
 

Preparation

  • Start by measuring out all your ingredients. Cook the pasta according to the package instructions until it reaches al dente texture. Shred the cooked chicken and set aside.

Cooking

  • In a large saucepan over medium heat, melt the butter until it’s bubbly. Add the shredded chicken and garlic powder, stirring for about 3-4 minutes until the chicken is heated through.
  • Pour the heavy cream into the pan and mix it well. Stir for another 2-3 minutes until smooth.
  • Add in the honey and simmer for about 4-5 minutes until the sauce thickens slightly.
  • Once cooked, drain the pasta and add it to the pan with the sauce, tossing to coat.
  • Sprinkle the shredded white cheddar cheese over the pasta and stir until melted.
  • Season with salt and pepper to taste.

Serving

  • Serve the pasta hot, garnished with additional cheese or herbs if desired.
