Main Ingredients

Honey Garlic Sauce

  • 3 cloves garlic minced
  • 1/4 cup honey
  • 1/4 cup soy sauce

Instructions
 

Preparation

  • Gather all ingredients and have them ready to go. Mince the garlic and slice the chicken into thin strips.

Cooking

  • In the same skillet, add garlic and cook until fragrant, about 1 minute. Stir in honey and soy sauce. Let simmer until slightly thickened, about 3-5 minutes.
  • Add cooked pasta and chicken back into the skillet. Toss until everything is coated in the sauce. Let cook for another 2 minutes to blend flavors.
