This easy recipe combines chicken with a sweet and tangy glaze, served over garlic parsley penne for a quick weeknight dinner.

First, you sear the chicken to keep it juicy, then pour that sweet-savory sauce over it. It’s a perfect balance!
Here’s a little tip: you can use any short pasta you have on hand. And if your chicken is thick, just slice it in half to cook it faster.
When you’re ready to cook, boil some water for the pasta and start on the chicken. It’s a simple countdown: boil the penne, finish the chicken, and you’re good to go!
For shopping, grab some penne, honey, low-sodium soy sauce, Dijon mustard, boneless chicken breasts, olive oil spray, Parmesan cheese, and fresh parsley. You probably have olive oil, garlic, salt, and pepper at home already.
The cooking steps are straightforward. Boil the pasta for about 10 minutes while you whip up the sauce. Cook the chicken in a skillet, add the sauce, and make sure it’s cooked through.
Once everything’s ready, plate it up with the chicken and pasta, sprinkle some parsley and Parmesan on top, and enjoy! This recipe serves two, so it’s perfect for a cozy dinner. Each serving is about 595 calories, which isn’t too bad for a tasty meal!
