Baking Tips

Don't overcook the pasta - it will continue cooking when mixed with the hot sauce

Use freshly grated Parmesan for the best flavor and melting quality

Let cream cheese come to room temperature to prevent lumps

Cook chicken in batches to ensure proper browning

Save pasta water - the starch helps bind the sauce to the noodles

Taste and adjust seasoning before serving

The honey glaze should be glossy but not too thick

For extra richness, add a pat of butter to finish the sauce

Don't let the honey glaze burn - keep heat at medium

Instructions

Cook pasta according to package directions until al dente. Drain and set aside, reserving 1 cup of pasta water.

Season chicken pieces with 1 teaspoon salt, black pepper, garlic powder, and thyme. Toss to coat evenly.

Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Cook seasoned chicken in batches until golden brown and cooked through, about 6-8 minutes. Remove and set aside.

In a small bowl, whisk together honey, soy sauce, Dijon mustard, and butter. Set aside for glazing.

In the same skillet, add diced onion and cook for 4-5 minutes until softened. Add minced garlic and cherry tomatoes, cooking for 2-3 minutes until tomatoes begin to soften.

Add 3 tablespoons butter to the skillet and let it melt. Sprinkle flour over vegetables and stir constantly for 2 minutes to create a roux.

Gradually whisk in chicken broth, ensuring no lumps form. Bring to a simmer and cook for 3-4 minutes until slightly thickened.

Reduce heat to low and slowly add heavy cream, stirring constantly. Add softened cream cheese and whisk until completely melted and smooth.

Gradually add Parmesan cheese, stirring until melted. Add Italian seasoning and garlic powder. Season with remaining salt and white pepper to taste.

Return cooked chicken to a separate pan and pour the honey glaze over it. Toss to coat and cook for 2-3 minutes until chicken is nicely glazed.

Add cooked pasta to the Parmesan sauce, tossing to combine. Add reserved pasta water as needed to achieve desired consistency.

Stir in lemon juice and top with the honey-glazed chicken. Remove from heat and serve immediately, garnished with fresh herbs, extra Parmesan, and lemon wedges.
