# Ingredients:

3–4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts
→ Pasta
02 -
300 g fettuccine pasta or other pasta of choice
→ Produce
03 -
3 cloves fresh garlic, minced
04 -
1 red bell pepper, thinly sliced
05 -
Green onions, chopped, for garnish
→ Sauce & Seasoning
06 -
60 ml pure honey
07 -
60 ml low-sodium soy sauce
08 -
2 tablespoons olive oil
09 -
Freshly ground black pepper, to taste
10 -
Chili flakes, optional, to taste
# Steps:
01 -
Cook fettuccine in a large pot of salted boiling water according to manufacturer instructions until al dente. Drain well and set aside.
02 -
Slice chicken breasts into thin strips. Season lightly with salt and black pepper. Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat, then cook chicken, turning once, until golden brown and cooked through, about 6–8 minutes total.
03 -
Add minced garlic and sliced red bell pepper to the skillet with chicken. Stir-fry until fragrant and slightly softened, about 2 minutes.
04 -
Pour in honey and low-sodium soy sauce. Stir to combine. Allow the sauce to simmer for 2–3 minutes, or until slightly thickened.
05 -
Add the drained pasta and, if desired, chili flakes to the skillet. Toss well to coat noodles and chicken evenly with the sauce.
06 -
Transfer pasta to serving plates and garnish with chopped green onions. Serve immediately.
# Notes:
01 -
For extra flavor, marinate chicken in a small portion of the soy sauce and honey mixture for up to 30 minutes before cooking.
