How to make Creamy Chipotle Chicken Pasta:

Season chicken with 1/4 tsp salt, 1/4 tsp pepper and honey.

Heat a large skillet to medium heat and add oil and butter.

Add chicken to the skillet, turning occasionally, until golden on all sides. Remove from skillet and set aside.

Add onions to the same skillet you cooked the chicken in and let cook until soft, about 7 minutes. Add garlic, diced tomatoes, chipotle and remaining salt and pepper. Cover and let lightly simmer for about 10 minutes.

In the meantime, bring a large pot of salted water to a boil and cook fettuccine according to package directions for al dente.

Next, add the chicken back to the skillet along with the corn. Add heavy cream, mozzarella, parmesan and let simmer for another 5 minutes.

Toss your cooked fettuccine into the creamy chipotle sauce and you are ready to serve! Sprinkle with chopped parsley and parmesan cheese.

NOTE! If you don’t like your pasta too spicy, only add 1 tbsp chipotle. You can also use penne/farfalle/cavatappi pasta instead of fettuccine.
