Ingredients
– 8 ounces pasta
– 1 pound boneless, skinless chicken breasts, cut into bite-sized pieces
– 1/2 teaspoon salt
– 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
– 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
– 2 tablespoons olive oil
– 3 cloves garlic, minced
– 1/2 cup heavy cream

Instructions
1. Cook pasta in salted water until al dente. Reserve 1/2 cup pasta water before draining.
2. Season chicken with salt, pepper, and garlic powder. Cook in olive oil over medium high heat until golden and cooked through, about 4 to 5 minutes per side. Remove chicken from skillet.
3. Add minced garlic to skillet and cook 30 seconds. Stir in heavy cream, hot honey, chicken broth, soy sauce, and red pepper flakes. Simmer 2 to 3 minutes until slightly thickened.
4. Return chicken to skillet. Add butter and stir until melted. Add drained pasta and toss to coat. Add pasta water if needed to thin sauce.

Notes
For a milder dish, reduce red pepper flakes to 1/4 teaspoon. For extra heat, add more flakes or a pinch of cayenne.
