This spicy lemon honey hot chicken pasta dish is an amazing light, sweet and spicy pasta dish, topped with juicy, crispy gluten-free hot chicken, for one delicious meal!

 Happy monday friends!  It's back to the monday grind.  After taking a few weeks off to be with my family after my father unexpectedly passed away, it feels good to get back in the kitchen.  Cooking is stress relieving to me.  It's healing.  Maybe I am weird.  Very very likely.

It also feels weird to be back in the kitchen because in the middle of the chaos the last week shoveled out to us, we also moved from our townhouse to our dream southern horse farm (in disguise - it needs some work!).  So my awesome MIL thoughtfully unpacked my new big, bright kitchen for me while I was away.  And I LOVE it (an understatement) but I am still getting used to where the cups are, how the oven cooks, and figuring out if I had combined both paprika shakers together before I left town (seriously, where did that second shaker go?).  I should really do a post on new house kitchen cooking fails (starting with burnt cookies).

Right now comfort foods are all the rage with my frazzled mind.  And carbs.  Carbs are my friend right now always.  And that's okay.  Especially when the carbs are part of this spicy lemon honey hot chicken pasta dish!  The pasta is coated in a sweet and spicy lemon honey sauce with chili pepper, butter, and garlic tagging along for the ride.  Then it is topped with my most favorite Gluten-Free Baked Hot Chicken, which is the best breaded chicken I have ever had with it's spicy and crunchy outer goodness and inner juiciness.  It's truly the best combination for a light and fresh Spring pasta dish that compliments the temps as they start to warm up!
