Honey-Orange Chicken and Pasta image

This dish is elegant enough for company and tastes like you spent all day in the kitchen. With five children to keep up with, I look for recipes that are easy to prepare. They love this chicken and pasta meal, with its honey orange sauce. I use citrus fruits and juices often in cooking since citrus is plentiful here in Southern California.

I've made this dish several times, and it's always a hit. The chicken is always tender and juicy, and the sauce is so flavorful. I love serving it over pasta, but I think it would also be great with rice or quinoa.

This dish was a bit too sweet for my taste, but my kids loved it. I think it would be better with less honey or a bit of lemon juice to balance out the sweetness.
