SPICY ASIAN CHICKEN PASTA



Spicy Asian Chicken Pasta image

I LOVE this sauce! It's a bit spicy, so, if you don't want the heat, cut back on the Jalapeno and hot sauce. But I LOVE it spicy! You could substitute shrimp or pork cubes very easily in this ample main dish. Or, leave the meat out completely and add some chopped peanuts. YUMMY!

THAI CHICKEN SPAGHETTI



Thai Chicken Spaghetti image

I had a dish like this at a restaurant in Canada on my honeymoon and thought it was delicious, so I tried to recreate it once I got back home. This is the result.

Provided by TaraKD

Categories     World Cuisine Recipes     Asian

Time 40m

Yield 4

Number Of Ingredients 15

1 (8 ounce) package thin spaghetti, broken in half
2 tablespoons vegetable oil
1 ½ pounds chicken tenders, cut into bite-size pieces
4 stalks celery, sliced
2 red bell peppers, sliced
1 red onion, sliced
⅔ cup shredded carrots
1 cup chicken broth
½ cup soy sauce
1 tablespoon cornstarch
1 teaspoon garlic powder
½ teaspoon sesame oil
¾ cup unsalted peanuts
1 tablespoon minced garlic
1 teaspoon red pepper flakes

Steps:

  • Bring a large pot of lightly salted water to a boil. Cook spaghetti in the boiling water, stirring occasionally until cooked through but firm to the bite, 4 to 5 minutes. Drain.
  • Heat oil in a large non-stick pan or wok over medium heat; cook and stir chicken until no longer pink in the center, about 5 minutes. Add celery, red bell peppers, red onion, and carrots; cook and stir until vegetables are slightly tender, about 5 minutes.
  • Mix chicken broth, soy sauce, cornstarch, garlic powder, and sesame oil in a small saucepan; bring to a boil. Reduce heat and simmer until desired thickness of sauce is reached, 5 to 10 minutes.
  • Stir peanuts, garlic, and red pepper flakes into chicken-vegetables mixture; cook for 2 minutes more. Pour sauce over chicken-vegetable mixture; add spaghetti and toss to coat.

Tips:

  • Mise en place: Be sure to prep all ingredients before starting to cook. This will make assembling the dish easier and faster.
  • Use fresh, flavorful ingredients: Always use the freshest produce and herbs you can find. This will make a big difference in the overall taste of the dish.
  • Don't be afraid to adjust the heat level: If you like spicy food, feel free to add more chili peppers or Sriracha sauce. If you prefer a milder dish, reduce the amount of chili peppers or omit them altogether.
  • Serve immediately: This dish is best enjoyed fresh. The pasta will start to absorb the dressing and become soggy if it sits for too long.

Conclusion:

This spicy Thai chicken pasta salad is a delicious and easy weeknight meal. It's packed with flavor and vegetables, and it can be tailored to your own spice level. Serve it for lunch or dinner, or pack it for a picnic or potluck.
