Honey Mustard Chicken Pasta!

I tried this recipe for the first time last night and it was a huge hit. I was a bit skeptical at first because I didn't quite know how the honey mustard would combine with the pasta...I'm used to honey mustard for chicken strips or as a dressing on a salad but NEVER on pasta.

It was REALLY REALLY good! Big thumbs up for this one!

Add garlic; saute for 1 minute. Stir in the chicken, peas, soup, milk, mustard, honey, parsley, salt if desired, pepper and bacon. Cook and stir over medium heat until heated through. Drain pasta; add to skillet and toss to coat. Sprinkle with Parmesan cheese.
