Ingredients

• 2 pieces Boneless, skinless chicken breasts
• 250 grams Spaghetti pasta
• 4 tablespoons Soy sauce
• 3 tablespoons Hoisin sauce
• 2 tablespoons Sriracha
• 2 teaspoons Sesame oil
• 1 tablespoon Brown sugar
• 1 tablespoon Lime juice
• 3 cloves Garlic cloves, minced
• 1 teaspoon Grated ginger
• 2 tablespoons Vegetable oil
• 3 stalks Scallions, sliced
• 1 tablespoon Sesame seeds (optional)
• 1 teaspoon Salt
• 0.5 teaspoon Ground black pepper

Directions

Step 1

Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Cook the spaghetti pasta according to the package instructions until al dente. Drain and set aside.

Step 2

Season the chicken breasts with salt and ground black pepper on both sides.

Step 3

Heat 1 tablespoon of vegetable oil in a skillet over medium heat. Add the chicken breasts and cook for 6-7 minutes per side, or until they are fully cooked with an internal temperature of 165°F (74°C). Remove the chicken from the skillet, let it rest for 5 minutes, then slice thinly.

Step 4

In a mixing bowl, combine soy sauce, hoisin sauce, sriracha, sesame oil, brown sugar, lime juice, minced garlic, and grated ginger. Whisk until the sauce mixture is well-combined.

Step 5

Heat the remaining 1 tablespoon of vegetable oil in the same skillet over medium heat. Add the prepared sauce and cook for 2 minutes, stirring occasionally, until slightly thickened.

Step 6

Add the cooked pasta to the skillet with the sauce and toss gently to coat the pasta evenly.

Step 7

Divide the pasta onto serving plates. Arrange the sliced chicken on top of the pasta.

Step 8

Garnish with sliced scallions and sesame seeds, if desired. Serve immediately.
