In a medium bowl, combine the cubed chicken, 1 tablespoon of olive oil, Cajun seasoning, and honey. Mix until the chicken is fully coated.
Heat the remaining tablespoon of olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the seasoned chicken and cook until browned and cooked through, about 5-7 minutes. Remove the chicken from the skillet and set aside.
In the same skillet, add the minced garlic and sauté for 30 seconds until fragrant.
Pour in the evaporated milk, scraping up any browned bits from the bottom of the pan. Bring to a simmer.
Add the cooked shell pasta and shredded cheddar cheese to the skillet. Stir continuously until the cheese is melted and the sauce is smooth and creamy.
Return the cooked chicken to the skillet and stir to combine everything.
Serve immediately, garnished with bacon bits and fresh parsley if desired.
