Tips

  • For the chicken, get a nice crust on the outside and then finish cooking it in the oven.
  • The blended chipotle peppers in adobo and honey are used both for seasoning the chicken and for the sauce.
  • You can blitz the sauce to make it extra creamy.
  • Timing is key so the chicken and pasta finish cooking around the same time.
