Cook the pasta according to the package directions until just al dente.
Cut the chicken into 1-inch pieces and season with salt and pepper. Prepare the vegetables. Remove the tough ends from the asparagus.
Heat the olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add in the chicken and sauté until browned and cooked through.
To the pan add the onion, red bell pepper, asparagus, and peas. Sauté until the vegetables are tender, about 10 minutes.
Remove the chipotle peppers from the can, reserving the adobo sauce. Dice the chipotle peppers into smaller pieces. Add 3 tablespoons of diced peppers and garlic into the pan with the vegetables and chicken. Continue to sauté for another 2 minutes.
Add ¼ cup of the adobo sauce, honey, heavy cream, shredded parmesan cheese, and salt and pepper to the pan.
Stir in the cooked pasta and bring to a gentle boil. Reduce heat to low and simmer for 5 minutes.
Remove the skillet from heat, serve the pasta with cilantro and additional parmesan cheese. Enjoy!
