Solo Honey Mustard Chicken and Pasta

Submitted by Bill Hilbrich

"This solo dish, when served with a green side salad will make a nice lunch for one, but it can be expanded to be used as a main course. The recipe can also be garnished with black olives and served cold. Cooking is a Creative Sport."

2. Set aside to cool.
