Instructions

Begin by slicing the chicken breasts into thin pieces. Dice the onion and mince the garlic.
In a large skillet over medium heat, heat olive oil and add the sliced chicken. Cook until browned and no longer pink in the center, approximately 5-7 minutes.
Add minced garlic and diced onion to the skillet, sautéing until fragrant and onions are translucent (about 2-3 minutes).
Pour in chicken broth and bring to a simmer before adding pasta. Stir well and cover the skillet; cook according to package instructions until al dente.
Once cooked, reduce heat to low. Stir in heavy cream, Dijon mustard, and honey; simmer gently for another 2-3 minutes until heated through.
Taste the sauce for seasoning adjustments if needed. Serve hot garnished with fresh herbs if desired.
