Creating Honey Pepper Chicken Panini Pasta is a simple process if you follow these steps:

1. Cook the Pasta: In a large pot of salted boiling water, cook the penne pasta according to package instructions until al dente. Drain and set aside.
2. Prepare the Chicken: While the pasta is cooking, season the chicken breasts with salt, garlic powder, onion powder, and black pepper.
3. Grill the Chicken: Heat olive oil in a skillet over medium-high heat. Add the seasoned chicken breasts and cook for about 5-7 minutes on each side until fully cooked and no longer pink in the center. Remove from the skillet and let rest for a few minutes before slicing.
4. Make the Sauce: In the same skillet, reduce the heat to medium and add the heavy cream. Stir in the honey and bring to a simmer. Allow the sauce to thicken slightly, about 3-5 minutes.
5. Combine Pasta and Sauce: Add the cooked penne pasta to the skillet with the sauce. Toss to coat the pasta evenly.
6. Add Chicken: Slice the grilled chicken and add it to the pasta. Stir in the grated Parmesan cheese and chopped parsley. Mix until well combined.
7. Adjust Seasoning: Taste and adjust seasoning with salt and additional black pepper if needed. For a spicy kick, sprinkle in crushed red pepper flakes.
8. Serve: Serve the Honey Pepper Chicken Panini Pasta warm, garnished with extra parsley and Parmesan cheese if desired.
