# What You'll Need:
→ Chicken
01 - 2 boneless, skinless chicken breasts (about 1 lb), pounded to even thickness
02 - 1 teaspoon paprika
03 - 1 teaspoon kosher salt
04 - ½ teaspoon black pepper
05 - 2 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
→ Honey Garlic Sauce & Pasta
06 - ⅓ cup honey
07 - ¼ cup soy sauce
08 - 2 teaspoons garlic, minced
09 - 1 tablespoon apple cider vinegar
10 - ½ teaspoon garlic salt
11 - ½ teaspoon red pepper flakes (optional)
12 - 2 cups chicken broth
13 - ½ cup heavy whipping cream
14 - 8 ounces spaghetti, uncooked
15 - 1 tablespoon cornstarch
16 - 2 tablespoons water
17 - ¼ cup Parmesan cheese, grated
→ Garnish (optional)
18 - Chopped fresh parsley
19 - Extra red pepper flakes
# How To Make It:
01 - Season the chicken breasts evenly with paprika, kosher salt, and black pepper on both sides.
02 - Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Once hot, add the seasoned chicken breasts and cook for 5 minutes on one side.
03 - Flip the chicken, reduce heat to medium-low, and cook another 5–7 minutes until internal temperature reaches 165°F. Remove from skillet and tent with foil to keep warm.
04 - In a medium bowl, whisk together honey, soy sauce, minced garlic, apple cider vinegar, garlic salt, and red pepper flakes if using. Set aside.
05 - In the same skillet over medium-high heat, pour in chicken broth and heavy cream. Stir to combine and bring to a gentle boil.
06 - Add uncooked spaghetti, fanning it out or breaking in half so it lays flat. Stir with tongs to coat and submerge. Reduce heat to medium-low, cover, and simmer for 10–12 minutes, stirring occasionally, until pasta is al dente and most liquid is absorbed.
07 - In a small bowl, whisk cornstarch with water to create a smooth slurry.
08 - Pour the honey garlic sauce over the pasta. Stir well, then immediately add the cornstarch slurry. Simmer uncovered for 2–3 minutes, stirring often, until sauce thickens and coats the pasta.
09 - Remove from heat and sprinkle with Parmesan cheese. Slice the cooked chicken and arrange on top of the pasta. Garnish with chopped parsley and extra red pepper flakes if desired. Serve immediately.
