    Honey Chipotle Chicken Pasta

    This honey chipotle chicken pasta is the perfect meal to get you through the weekday dinner slump! Its not just another pasta dish, its got a sweet and smoky chipotle cream sauce that is just amazing!

    easy one pot dinner with peppers and cream sauce

    Let's make this Honey Chipotle Chicken Pasta!

    There are no crazy ingredients in this dish and yet it is a crazy good pasta!

    • Chicken
    • Pasta - you can use any shape you have on hand
    • Veggies - bell peppers, jalapeños, onions
    • Honey Chipotle Cream Sauce
    • Finishing touch - chopped cilantro, jalapeno slices, crushed tortilla chips or fried tortilla strips

    Honey Chipotle Cream Sauce

    This sauce is the real star of this dish! It's super flavorful but its also so easy to put together! A little bit sweet and smoky but pretty spicy all at once!

    Here's all you need for it:

    • Chipotle peppers in adobo sauce - I like to use a little bit of adobo sauce as well as a few (like 1 or 2) chipotle peppers minced up
    • Heavy cream
    • Parmesan cheese - grated, fresh if you have it, but for a cheesy cream sauce, I think its fine to grab a pre-grated refrigerated tub
    • Honey - to balance that heat!
    • Butter
    • Garlic - freshly minced

    Feel free to change out the vegetables here. I think the peppers and onions are a nice pairing with the chipotle cream sauce. But I think it would also work with really anything you have on hand.

    Also adjust your seasonings to your preference. With the chipotle peppers and the jalapeños in this dish, it turns out a bit too hot for my little munchkins to handle. But when I omit the jalapeños and reduce the chipotle peppers, they're just fine with it all.
