Honey Lemon Spaghetti with Chicken

This post contains affiliate links, see my disclosure policy for more information.

This is not the normal tomato sauce spaghetti, but something sweeter, smoother, tastier, and change can be a great thing from the same old spaghetti recipe.

I’ve mentioned a time or two that I love lemon flavored just about anything. I love lemon cookies, and lemon brownies, I love hot honey lemon water, especially when cold, or sick.

This spaghetti is the perfect meal for an evening when you don’t want to cook a big meal but want it to look like you put some effort into it.

It takes no time or big effort to make, but makes spaghetti night a lot more special.

What you need for the chicken and sauce:

• 1/2 cup honey
• 1/4 cup lemon juice
• 2 tablespoons olive oil for sauce + 1 tablespoon for cooking chicken
• 1 tablespoon white vinegar
• 1/2 teaspoon salt or to taste
• 1/2 teaspoon black pepper or to taste
• leaves from 2 or 3 sprigs of lemon thyme optional and to taste
• 4 boneless skinless chicken breasts diced into bite-sized pieces

How to make this Honey Lemon Spaghetti with Chicken:

Cook pasta according to the package instructions.

Pour one tablespoon of oil into the bottom of a large skillet, add you diced chicken. Cook over medium-high heat for about 5 minutes flip, cook until about 90% cooked.

While the chicken is cooking, mix together the honey, 2 tablespoons of oil, lemon juice, vinegar, and optional thyme in a small mixing bowl.

Once chicken is 90% cooked turn heat down to low, add in the honey lemon sauce. Stir in pasta and combine.

Once pasta is cooked and drained, add into your pan with the chicken and sauce, OR add the chicken and sauce in your pot with your pasta, which ever will hold it.

Once combined cover for a few minutes to let flavors combine. Serve hot.
