Prepare your chicken strips by patting them dry.
This ensures they will crisp up beautifully.
In a saucepan, melt the butter over medium heat.
Add garlic powder, soy sauce, honey, and black pepper.
Mix well and let simmer until the mixture thickens to your liking.
Cook the pasta according to package instructions.
I recommend setting aside a little pasta water to adjust the sauce later if needed.
Use a skillet to cook the chicken over medium-high heat until golden brown.
You want a nice sear on the chicken for a tasty texture.
Toss the cooked chicken with the glaze.
Mix well to coat every piece and serve over the cooked pasta.
You can garnish with the shredded cheese and bacon before enjoying.
