Cooking
- Cook the Pasta: Start by bringing a large pot of salted water to a boil. Add your pasta and cook according to package instructions until al dente. Drain and set aside, reserving a bit of the pasta water.
- Prepare the Chicken: While the pasta cooks, season the chicken breasts on both sides with Cajun seasoning, salt, and pepper.
- Sear the Chicken: In a large skillet over medium-high heat, melt 2 tablespoons of butter. Once hot, add the seasoned chicken breasts. Sear for about 5-7 minutes on each side or until golden brown and cooked through. Remove the chicken from the skillet, tent with foil, and let rest.
- Make the Sauce: In the same skillet, reduce the heat to medium. Add the remaining 2 tablespoons of butter and allow it to melt. Stir in the honey, then slowly pour in the heavy cream, whisking continuously to combine. Cook for about 2-3 minutes until the sauce thickens slightly.
- Combine Everything: Slice the cooked chicken into strips and add it back to the skillet along with the cooked pasta. Toss everything together, adding a little reserved pasta water if necessary to achieve the desired consistency.
- Garnish and Serve: Top with chopped parsley for a fresh finish. Serve immediately and enjoy!
Notes
If you have dietary preferences, you can swap out chicken with plant-based alternatives or shrimp for a delightful seafood twist. Always aim for al dente pasta and avoid overcooking.
