Preparation Steps
- Season the chicken breasts with salt and pepper. Heat the avocado oil over medium-high heat and cook the chicken for 6-7 minutes on each side until cooked through. Drizzle honey over the chicken during the last minute, then slice thinly.
- Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil and add the penne pasta. Cook according to package instructions until al dente, usually about 10-12 minutes. Reserve ½ cup of cooking water before draining the pasta.
- In the same skillet, add olive oil and butter over medium heat. Sauté the diced onion until translucent. Add minced garlic, bell peppers, and asparagus; cook until tender.
- In a blender, combine heavy cream, chipotle peppers, paprika, cayenne, and Parmesan. Blend until smooth. Pour sauce into the skillet and add reserved pasta water. Let simmer for 4-5 minutes.
- Add drained penne and sliced chicken to the skillet. Toss to coat thoroughly with the sauce. Heat for another minute.
- Plate the pasta and garnish with Parmigiano and fresh herbs. Serve hot.
