Honey Buffalo Pasta

Ingredients

• 2 chicken breasts (diced)
• 1.5 tsp smoked paprika (for seasoning chicken)
• garlic granules (to taste, for seasoning chicken)
• onion granules (to taste, for seasoning chicken)
• Cajun seasoning (to taste, for seasoning chicken)
• 150 g dried pasta
• 1 red pepper (sliced or diced)
• 1 onion (diced)
• 2 garlic cloves (minced)
• 1.5 tbsp tomato puree
• 200 ml chicken stock
• 90 ml single cream
• 1.5 tbsp honey
• 2 tbsp buffalo sauce
• fresh parsley (optional garnish)

Steps

1. 1

   Dice the chicken breasts into bite-sized pieces and place them in a bowl. Season thoroughly with the smoked paprika, garlic granules, onion granules, and Cajun seasoning. Set aside to marinate briefly.

2. 2

   Heat a large pan over medium heat. Add the diced onion and red pepper and fry for 5-6 minutes until they begin to soften.

3. 3

   Add the seasoned chicken to the pan with the vegetables. Fry for a further 6-7 minutes until the chicken is browned and cooked through.

4. 4

   Add the tomato puree and minced garlic to the pan. Cook for 1 minute, stirring constantly to prevent the garlic from burning.

5. 5

   Pour in the chicken stock and single cream. Bring the mixture to a gentle simmer.

6. 6

   Add the honey and buffalo sauce to the pan. Stir thoroughly to combine all the sauce ingredients.

7. 7

   While the sauce simmers, cook the dried pasta in a separate pot of boiling salted water according to the package instructions.

8. 8

   Once the pasta is cooked, drain it and add it directly into the sauce pan. Toss well to ensure the pasta is evenly coated.

9. 9

   Top with fresh parsley if desired and serve immediately.

Notes

You can adjust the heat by adding more or less buffalo sauce. For a thicker sauce, let it simmer for a few extra minutes before adding the pasta.
