Instructions
- Cook the pasta according to package instructions until al dente. Drain and set aside.
- Heat olive oil in a large skillet or sauté pan over medium-high heat. Add diced chicken and cook until golden and cooked through, about 6–8 minutes.
- Add minced garlic and sauté for 1–2 minutes until fragrant.
- Stir in honey, black pepper, soy sauce, apple cider vinegar, and chicken broth. Bring to a simmer.
- Simmer the sauce for 5–7 minutes to reduce slightly and deepen the flavor.
- Add halved cherry tomatoes and cook for another 3–4 minutes until softened but still intact.
- Add the cooked pasta back into the skillet. Toss with sauce and cook for 2–3 minutes to heat through.
- Serve hot, garnished with fresh parsley and extra cracked black pepper if desired.
Notes
Use freshly cracked black pepper for bold flavor. Add vegetables like bell pepper or spinach for more nutrition. For a creamier version, stir in ¼ cup heavy cream before tossing with pasta.
