Preheat your oven as per the chicken strip package instructions for baking, or you can deep fry them for extra crispiness. Once cooked, set aside.

Cook the spiral noodles according to the package directions until al dente. Drain and set aside.

In a medium saucepan, combine all the Honey Pepper sauce ingredients. Bring the mixture to a boil over medium heat, then reduce the heat and let it simmer for about 15 minutes, stirring often until it thickens slightly. Remove from heat and allow to cool.

To prepare the cheese sauce, melt the butter and heavy cream together in a large pan over medium heat. Slowly add the cheeses one at a time, stirring until fully melted after each addition. Add the minced garlic and mix well. Season with salt and pepper to taste.

Combine the cooked pasta with the cheese sauce in the large pan, mixing thoroughly. Add the crumbled bacon and stir until evenly distributed.

Carefully dip each chicken strip into the honey pepper sauce until well coated, then set aside on a plate.

When ready to serve, plate the pasta and top with the honey pepper chicken strips. Garnish with chopped basil and additional bacon, if desired.
