I also have a couple of great tips for making chicken in the air fryer! Man oh man – it’s delicious!! Honey garlic glazed chicken that’s delicious enough to be a dish on its own.

Is Chipotle Seasoning Hot?

Yup. I tried a couple of different chipotle seasonings for this dish – the canned chipotle in adobo sauce and the chipotle pepper seasoning powder. I went with the seasoning powder because I could control it more easily. The peppers in the can are REALLY spicy – so if you go that route – I would only use one. I also felt they added a bitter taste that I didn’t care for.

How do you make the Spicy Chicken Chipotle Pasta?

There are a few steps for this dish – first up is the chicken. You can do the chicken on the stovetop but I recommend the air fryer if you have one! For the stove top, heat your pan and rub the chicken with garlic and saute your chicken breast. Then – at the end – for the last minute – brush both sides with honey. Any sooner and the honey will burn. If you have an air fryer (omg – so easy!!) – rub garlic on the chicken and brush with honey – then air fry at 375 for 12 minutes. You will be shocked at how deliciously juicy air fryer chicken is!!!!

While your chicken is cooking – you can get boil your penne pasta – easy peasy. Once the chicken is done – set that aside and saute the vegetables (asparagus, peas, onions and peppers). Set those aside.

Finally – when everything else is ready – make your alfredo – it comes together very quickly! Then mix it all together!!! Chop your chicken and the chicken, pasta and veggies to the alfredo – toss and serve!

How do you make a Spicy Alfredo?

The base of this recipe is a Parmesan Cream Sauce – guess what – that’s Alfredo! You’ll be shocked at how easy Alfredo is to make! Start with butter and flour in a saute pan – and then you add milk and cream – whisk whisk whisk! As it thickens, add your FRESHLY grated Parmesan (please grate it fresh – it’s so much better!) and voila – your alfredo is done!

To make it spicy – add your favorite spicy seasoning! For this recipe, I used chipotle pepper seasoning but you could also spice it up with cayenne or chili powder.

What to serve with Spicy Chicken Chipotle Pasta?

The nice thing is this dish has nearly everything – carbs, veg and protein! What does that leave? Dessert!!!! While I haven’t mastered Cheesecake (it is from Cheesecake Factory) – I do have some yum!

This is by far the BEST Weight Watchers cabbage soup you’ll ever have! It’s so much more – filled with every vegetable I could think of and I added ground turkey. Two cups of this hearty soup is only 0/1 POINT! (If you’re not on WW – it means it’s super healthy!!!) I’ve been astounded at how much I enjoyed all of these leftovers!⁣
