Follow these easy steps to create your One-Pan Tangy Honey BBQ Chicken Penne:

1. Heat the Pan: In a large skillet, heat the olive oil over medium heat.
2. Cook Chicken: Add the cubed chicken to the pan, seasoning it with garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and pepper. Cook for about 5-7 minutes or until the chicken is browned and no longer pink in the center.
3. Add Pasta: Stir in the penne pasta and pour in the chicken broth. Ensure the pasta is covered by the liquid.
4. Add Sauce: In a small bowl, mix together the barbecue sauce and honey. Pour this mixture over the chicken and pasta in the skillet.
5. Simmer: Bring the mixture to a boil, then reduce the heat to low. Cover the skillet and let it simmer for about 10-12 minutes, or until the pasta is cooked al dente and has absorbed some of the sauce.
6. Add Cheese: Sprinkle the shredded cheese over the top of the penne. Cover the pan again and allow the cheese to melt for about 2-3 minutes.
7. Garnish: Once melted, remove the skillet from the heat, and sprinkle the chopped parsley over the top for an added touch of freshness.
8. Serve: Stir everything together for a cohesive blend of flavors and serve hot.

These straightforward steps ensure success for even novice cooks, while the delicious outcome will surely impress.
