Honey-Orange Chicken and Pasta image

This dish is elegant enough for company and tastes like you spent all day in the kitchen. With five children to keep up with, I look for recipes that are easy to prepare. They love this chicken and pasta meal, with its honey orange sauce. I use citrus fruits and juices often in cooking since citrus is plentiful here in Southern California.

This was a little too spicy for my taste, but my husband loved it. I would use less cayenne pepper next time.

I followed the recipe exactly, but my sauce turned out too thin. I had to add some cornstarch to thicken it up.
