Recipe Information
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
Instructions
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.
Season the chicken breasts with salt and ground black pepper on both sides.
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.
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.
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.
Add the cooked pasta to the skillet with the sauce and toss gently to coat the pasta evenly.
Divide the pasta onto serving plates. Arrange the sliced chicken on top of the pasta.
Garnish with sliced scallions and sesame seeds, if desired. Serve immediately.
