# Steps to Follow:
01 -
Cook the pasta in salted boiling water as per the instructions on the packaging, stopping when it's firm to the bite. Save a cup of the pasta water, then drain.

Season your chicken breasts with some pepper and salt. Heat up olive oil and cook for about 6-7 minutes on each side over medium-high heat. Make sure the middle hits 165°F, then let it rest and slice.
03 -
In the same pan, sauté your minced garlic in melted butter for 1-2 minutes until it smells amazing.
04 -
Pour in the honey and mix in the black pepper. Simmer for a couple of minutes until a slight caramelization appears. Then add cream and continue cooking for 3-4 minutes until thicker.
05 -
Combine cooked pasta with the sauce, stirring to coat evenly. Stir in Parmesan cheese until melted. Add the sliced chicken and stir until everything's combined.
06 -
Sprinkle parsley on top if you'd like, and enjoy it while it’s still warm.
