- 2 cloves garlic, minced

Instructions
Cooking is about creating memories, and these steps will guide you through crafting a dish that will surely become a staple in your home.
- Begin by seasoning the chicken breasts with salt, black pepper, paprika, and red pepper flakes.
- In a large skillet, heat olive oil over medium-high heat. Add the seasoned chicken and cook for 7-8 minutes on each side, until golden and cooked through. Remove from the skillet and set aside.
- In the same skillet, lower the heat to medium, and add honey, soy sauce, minced garlic, and apple cider vinegar. Stir the mixture, scraping up any flavorful bits from the bottom of the pan. Let it simmer for 2-3 minutes until it thickens slightly.
- Meanwhile, cook the fettuccine pasta in a large pot of boiling salted water according to package instructions. Drain and set aside.
- Slice the cooked chicken and return it to the skillet, coating it well with the honey sauce. Add the pasta to the skillet and toss everything together until the pasta is well coated with the sauce.
- Sprinkle with Parmesan cheese and garnish with freshly chopped parsley before serving.
