Ingredients
Scale
- 1 pound Cellentani pasta (or similar shape)
- 1.5 pounds boneless, skinless chicken breasts, cut into 1-inch cubes
- 1/4 cup honey
- 1 cup heavy cream

Instructions
- Cook the pasta according to package directions until al dente. Drain and set aside.
- In a large skillet, heat olive oil and butter over medium-high heat. Add the chicken cubes and cook until golden brown and cooked through, about 6-8 minutes.
- Add the minced garlic, Cajun seasoning, smoked paprika, salt, and pepper to the skillet. Cook for 1 minute, stirring constantly until fragrant.
