Ingredients

• 2 pieces boneless, skinless chicken breasts
• 12 ounces spaghetti or linguine
• 1 teaspoon salt
• 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
• 1 tablespoon cornstarch
• 2 tablespoons vegetable oil
• 4 cloves garlic, minced
• 1 tablespoon ginger, minced
• 1 medium red bell pepper, thinly sliced
• 2 cups broccoli florets
• 3 tablespoons soy sauce
• 2 tablespoons sriracha or chili garlic sauce
• 1 tablespoon honey
• 1 tablespoon rice vinegar
• 1 teaspoon sesame oil
• 2 stalks green onions, sliced
• 1 tablespoon sesame seeds

Directions

Step 1

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

Step 2

Slice the chicken breasts into thin strips. Season with salt, black pepper, and toss with cornstarch.

Step 3

Heat 1 tablespoon of vegetable oil in a large skillet or wok over medium-high heat. Add the chicken and stir-fry for 5-6 minutes until cooked through and slightly golden. Remove the chicken from the skillet and set aside.

Step 4

In the same skillet, add the remaining 1 tablespoon of vegetable oil. Stir in the minced garlic and ginger, cooking for 30 seconds until fragrant.

Step 5

Add the red bell pepper and broccoli florets to the skillet. Stir-fry for 3-4 minutes until the vegetables are crisp-tender.

Step 6

In a small bowl, whisk together the soy sauce, sriracha, honey, rice vinegar, and sesame oil to create the sauce.

Step 7

Return the cooked chicken to the skillet with the vegetables. Pour the sauce over the chicken and vegetables, stirring well to coat everything evenly. Cook for an additional 2-3 minutes to heat through and thicken slightly.

Step 8

Add the cooked pasta to the skillet. Toss everything together until the pasta is well coated in the sauce.

Step 9

Transfer the Spicy Asian Chicken Pasta to a serving platter. Garnish with sliced green onions and sesame seeds.

Step 10

Serve hot and enjoy!
