Honey Mustard Chicken Pasta

Note, this recipe only serves 2 but can easily be doubled

Ingredients:

1 cup uncooked bow tie pasta

2 bacon strips, diced

2 tablespoons chopped onion

1 garlic clove minced

1 cup cooked diced chicken

½ cup frozen peas, thawed

½ cup condensed cream of chicken soup

1/3 cup milk

1 tablespoon mustard

2 teaspoons honey

½ teaspoon dried parsley flakes

1/8 teaspoon salt

1/8 teaspoon pepper

2 teaspoons grated parmesan cheese

I am going to add extra veggies to make it a bit healthier--chopped broccoli and yellow peppers would be a great addition.

Directions:

1. Cook pasta according to directions on package.

2. In a large skillet, cook bacon over medium heat until crisp. Remove to paper towels and drain, reserving 1 tablespoon of the drippings.

3. In the bacon drippings, sauté onion until tender. Add garlic and sauté for 1 minute.

4. Stir in chicken, peas, soup, milk, honey, parsley, salt, pepper and bacon. Cook over medium heat til heated through, stirring.

5. Drain pasta, add to skillet and toss to coat.

6. Sprinkle with parmesan cheese.
