Sriracha Lime Pasta with Chicken
BY Jorge Gomez
Ingredients
1 pound chicken breast
1 pound pasta of choice
1 head of cilantro
3 to 4 limes
3 to 5 tablespoons sriracha sauce
2 tablespoons olive oil
Season the chicken as you wish; I prefer Tony Chachere's® or Slap Ya Mama® cajun seasoning. Cut the chicken breasts into small cubes. Place the olive oil and the seasoned chicken in a skillet over medium heat. Let the chicken brown just a bit, about 4 to 5 minutes, and flip. In the meantime, bring a pot of water to boil and drop the pasta in, once water is boiling. When the chicken is browned on both sides, add the sriracha to taste; I prefer it on the spicy side, but use with caution. Stir the sriracha sauce, coating the chicken cubes evenly, and bring the heat down to a simmer. Grab your cilantro and chop it as fine as you wish. Now check on the pasta and once al dente, strain off the water, reserving a cup. Now add the pasta, the chicken, chopped cilantro and the reserved water back into the pot. Stir all ingredients while squeezing in the limes. This should serve 3 to 4 people.
