Main Ingredients
  • 3-4 pieces boneless, skinless chicken breasts Cut into even pieces for uniform cooking.
  • Fettuccine pasta (or pasta of your choice)
  • 3 cloves fresh garlic, minced
  • 1/4 cup pure honey For sweetness.
  • 1/4 cup low-sodium soy sauce Ensure gluten-free if necessary.
  • 1 piece red bell pepper, thinly sliced
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil

Method
 

Cooking the Pasta
  1. Cook the fettuccine in boiling salted water according to package instructions. Drain the pasta and set it aside.
Cooking the Chicken
  1. Heat the olive oil in a skillet over medium-high heat. Season the chicken with salt and pepper. Sauté the chicken until it is golden brown, about 6-8 minutes.
  2. Add the minced garlic and sliced bell pepper to the skillet and cook until fragrant.
  3. Stir in the honey and soy sauce, and let it simmer until slightly thickened.
Combining Ingredients

Notes

This dish is best served hot. Garnish with sliced green onions for added flavor and pair with a simple salad or steamed vegetables. Leftovers can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to three days. To reheat, warm in a skillet over low heat or in the microwave.
