Instructions
Creating the delicious Bang Bang Chicken Pasta is simple if you follow these steps:
1. Cook the Pasta: In a large pot of salted boiling water, cook the pasta according to package instructions until al dente. Drain and set aside.
2. Prepare the Chicken: While the pasta cooks, cut the chicken breasts into bite-sized pieces. Season with salt and pepper.
3. Heat the Oil: In a large skillet over medium heat, add the vegetable oil. Once hot, add the seasoned chicken pieces.
4. Cook the Chicken: Sauté the chicken for 5-7 minutes, or until fully cooked and golden brown. Stir occasionally.
5. Create the Sauce: In a separate bowl, whisk together the heavy cream, sweet chili sauce, mayonnaise, sriracha, minced garlic, and soy sauce until smooth.
6. Combine Pasta and Chicken: Once the chicken is cooked, lower the heat and pour the sauce into the skillet, stirring to coat the chicken evenly. Add the cooked pasta and toss to combine.
7. Heat Through: Allow the mixture to cook for an additional 2-3 minutes, ensuring everything is heated through.
8. Taste and Adjust: Taste the pasta and adjust seasoning if needed, adding more salt, pepper, or sriracha as desired.
