Description

This One-Pot Honey Garlic BBQ Chicken Pasta is a flavorful and convenient dish combining tender chicken breast, rotini pasta, and a sweet and tangy honey garlic BBQ sauce. Cooked entirely in one pot, it makes for an easy cleanup and a comforting meal perfect for weeknights.

Ingredients

Scale

Chicken and Pasta

  • 1 lb chicken breast, diced
  • 12 oz rotini pasta

Sauce and Seasonings

  • 2 tbsp olive oil
  • 4 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 cup BBQ sauce (use your favorite)
  • 1/4 cup honey
  • 4 cups chicken broth
  • Salt and pepper, to taste

Garnish

  • Fresh parsley, chopped (for garnish)

Instructions

  1. Cook the Chicken: Heat olive oil in a large pot over medium-high heat. Add diced chicken breast, season with salt and pepper, and cook until browned and cooked through, about 5–7 minutes. Once done, remove the chicken from the pot and set aside.
  2. Sauté Garlic: In the same pot, add the minced garlic and cook for about 30 seconds until fragrant, stirring frequently to avoid burning.
  3. Add Sauce Ingredients: Pour in the BBQ sauce, honey, and chicken broth into the pot with the garlic. Stir well to blend all the flavors together.
  4. Cook the Pasta: Add the rotini pasta to the pot, stirring to make sure the pasta is fully submerged in the liquid. Bring the mixture to a boil, then reduce heat to a simmer. Cook for 12–15 minutes, stirring occasionally to prevent sticking, until the pasta is tender and most of the liquid is absorbed.
  5. Combine Chicken and Sauce: Once the pasta is cooked, return the cooked chicken to the pot. Stir thoroughly to coat the chicken evenly with the honey garlic BBQ sauce.
  6. Garnish and Serve: Sprinkle chopped fresh parsley over the pasta for garnish. Serve hot and enjoy this satisfying one-pot meal.

Notes

  • Use your favorite BBQ sauce to customize the flavor profile.
  • For a spicier variation, add red pepper flakes when sautéing garlic.
  • You can substitute chicken breast with thighs for a juicier texture.
  • If preferred, add vegetables like bell peppers or mushrooms for extra nutrition.
  • Make sure to stir occasionally during cooking to prevent pasta from sticking to the bottom of the pot.
