For a spicier dish, add more adobo sauce or a pinch of cayenne pepper. Use freshly grated Parmesan cheese for the best flavor. Feel free to substitute other vegetables like zucchini or bell peppers. Garnish with a sprinkle of cotija cheese for a salty kick.

Follow The Directions
01
Step
5 mins
Marinate the Chicken: In a bowl, toss chicken pieces with lemon juice, salt, and black pepper. Set aside to marinate. (5 minutes)
02
Step
12 mins
Cook the Pasta: Fill a large pot with lightly salted water and bring to a rolling boil. Stir in penne and cook until al dente, about 10 minutes. Reserve 1/2 cup of pasta water before draining. (12 minutes)
03
Step
5 mins
Blanch the Asparagus: Add asparagus to the boiling pasta water and cook until bright green and tender-crisp, about 1 to 2 minutes. Immediately transfer to a bowl of ice water to stop the cooking process. Drain and set aside. (5 minutes)
04
Step
8 mins
Sauté the Aromatics: While pasta is cooking, melt butter with olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add chopped red pepper, yellow pepper, and onion. Cook, stirring occasionally, until softened, about 3 to 5 minutes. Stir in minced garlic and cook until fragrant, about 30 seconds. Remove vegetables from skillet and set aside. (8 minutes)
05
Step
6 mins
Cook the Chicken: Add chicken to the skillet and cook, browning on all sides, about 3 to 5 minutes. Stir in honey, coating all chicken pieces. (6 minutes)
06
Step
5 mins
Create the Sauce: Return the cooked vegetables to the skillet. Stir in adobo sauce, heavy cream, and Parmesan cheese. Cook for 3 to 4 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the sauce thickens slightly. (5 minutes)
07
Step
7 mins
Combine and Finish: Add cooked penne, asparagus, and peas to the skillet. Stir well to combine. If the sauce is too thick, add some of the reserved pasta water until desired consistency is reached. Heat for 2 to 3 minutes, then remove from heat and let stand for a few minutes to allow the flavors to meld. (7 minutes)
08
Step
2 mins
Garnish and Serve: Garnish with fresh cilantro and corn tortilla chip pieces. Serve warm. (2 minutes)
