Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 pieces Chicken breasts
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 1 teaspoon Black pepper
- 1 cup All-purpose flour
- 2 tablespoons Olive oil
- 6 cloves Garlic cloves, minced
- 0.25 cup Honey
- 2 tablespoons Soy sauce
- 0.5 cup Chicken broth
- 12 ounces Angel hair pasta
- 2 tablespoons Unsalted butter
- 2 tablespoons Fresh parsley, chopped
- 0.25 cup Grated Parmesan cheese
Instructions
Season the chicken breasts on both sides with salt and black pepper.
Dredge each chicken breast in the flour, shaking off any excess.
Heat a large skillet over medium heat and add the olive oil. Once hot, cook the chicken breasts for 4-5 minutes on each side until golden brown and fully cooked (internal temperature of 165°F). Remove from the skillet and set aside.
In the same skillet, lower the heat to medium-low and add the minced garlic. Sauté the garlic for about 1 minute until fragrant, being careful not to burn it.
Add honey, soy sauce, and chicken broth to the skillet. Stir well to combine and let the sauce simmer for 3-4 minutes until slightly thickened.
Reintroduce the cooked chicken breasts to the skillet, spooning the sweet garlic sauce over them. Let the chicken simmer in the sauce for another 3 minutes. Turn off the heat and set the skillet aside, covering it with a lid to keep warm.
While the chicken is cooking, bring a large pot of salted water to a boil and cook the angel hair pasta according to package instructions (about 4-5 minutes). Drain and set aside.
In a separate pan, melt the butter over medium heat and toss the cooked angel hair pasta to coat it evenly. Add the chopped parsley and grated Parmesan cheese, tossing again to combine.
To serve, plate the garlic butter pasta and top it with a chicken breast and a generous drizzle of the sweet garlic sauce from the skillet. Garnish with additional parsley and Parmesan cheese if desired.
Enjoy your Sweet Garlic Chicken with Pasta while it's warm!
