  • Yield: 4 1x

Description

A creamy pasta dish featuring honey-glazed chicken, rich sauce, and crunchy bacon bits.


Ingredients

Scale
  • 8 oz fettuccine pasta
  • 2 boneless chicken breasts, sliced
  • 1/4 cup honey
  • 1 cup heavy cream
  • 4 strips bacon, chopped
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil

Instructions

  1. Boil a large pot of salted water and cook the fettuccine pasta according to package instructions until al dente; drain and set aside.
  2. In a skillet, heat olive oil over medium heat. Add the sliced chicken breasts and cook until browned, about 5 minutes.
  3. Stir in the honey, garlic, salt, and black pepper, and cook for another 2 minutes until the chicken is glazed.
  4. In a separate pan, fry the chopped bacon until crispy; remove and drain on paper towels.
  5. Add the heavy cream to the chicken mixture and simmer for 3-4 minutes until the sauce thickens.
  6. Toss the cooked pasta with the chicken and sauce, then top with crispy bacon before serving.

Notes

For a healthier twist, use turkey bacon and low-fat cream. Ensure honey is pure for best flavor.
