  • 1/4 tsp Cayenne Pepper optional
  • Salt and Pepper kosher salt or sea salt
  • 1/4 cup Chopped Fresh Parsley or Cilantro

Instructions

  1. Heat a large pan over medium heat and season the chicken with salt and pepper. Add avocado oil to the pan and cook the chicken for 6 to 7 minutes on each side until fully cooked and golden. In the last minute, pour honey over the chicken and turn to coat. Remove and slice thinly.
  2. Cook the penne pasta in boiling water as per package instructions. Reserve half a cup of the pasta water then drain the pasta.
  3. In the same pan, melt butter with olive oil and cook the onions for 3 to 4 minutes until soft and slightly browned. Add garlic, bell peppers, and asparagus and cook for 3 to 4 minutes until tender crisp. Stir in peas and cook for another 1 to 2 minutes.
  4. In a blender combine heavy cream, chipotle peppers in adobo sauce, paprika, cayenne pepper if using, and parmesan cheese and blend until smooth. Pour the sauce and reserved pasta water into the skillet with vegetables, stir and let simmer 2 to 3 minutes until sauce thickens. Season with salt and pepper.
  5. Add cooked pasta and sliced chicken to the sauce and toss gently to combine. Cook an additional minute for flavors to meld.
  6. Garnish with fresh cilantro and shaved parmesan. Serve immediately while hot.
