Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 lb boneless, skinless chicken thighs or breasts
  • 8 oz uncooked penne pasta
  • 1 cup honey BBQ sauce
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 1/2 cup low-sodium chicken broth
  • 1 teaspoon smoked paprika
  • 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
  • Salt and pepper to taste

Instructions

  1. Heat olive oil in a large non-stick skillet over medium-high heat. Season chicken with salt, pepper, smoked paprika, and garlic powder; sear until golden brown.
  2. Remove the chicken and deglaze the pan with chicken broth, scraping up any brown bits.
  3. Stir in the honey BBQ sauce and optional soy sauce; simmer for 2–3 minutes.
