A hearty one-pan dish combining tender chicken and flank steak with creamy cheddar cheese and a bold honey BBQ sauce, cooked together with pasta for a flavorful, easy weeknight meal.

Ingredients

1 lb chicken breast, diced

1 lb flank steak, sliced

12 oz pasta (penne or rotini)

1 cup honey BBQ sauce

2 cups chicken broth

1 cup heavy cream

1 cup shredded cheddar cheese

1 tbsp olive oil

1 small onion, chopped

2 cloves garlic, minced

Salt and pepper to taste

Chopped green onions (optional, for garnish)

Instructions

  1. Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add chopped onion and garlic, sautéing until softened, about 3-4 minutes.
  2. Add diced chicken and sliced steak to the skillet. Season with salt and pepper, and cook until browned and cooked through, about 6-8 minutes.
  3. Stir in honey BBQ sauce, chicken broth, and uncooked pasta. Bring to a boil, then reduce heat and simmer, stirring occasionally, until pasta is cooked, about 10-12 minutes.
  4. After pasta is cooked, stir in heavy cream and shredded cheddar cheese until melted and creamy.
  5. Serve warm, garnished with chopped green onions if desired.

Notes

  • Substitute flank steak with sirloin or ribeye for a different cut of beef.
  • Use smoked gouda or mozzarella cheese instead of cheddar for a different cheesy twist.
  • Add vegetables like bell peppers, mushrooms, or spinach for extra nutrients and flavor.
  • Swap honey BBQ sauce with spicy BBQ sauce for a bit of heat.
  • Use gluten-free pasta to make the recipe gluten-free.
  • Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Reheat gently with added broth or cream to restore sauce creaminess.
