Ingredients for Asian Chicken Linguine

  • 1 pound linguine
  • Sesame Oil
  • Boneless Skinless Chicken Breasts
  • Fresh Mushrooms
  • 2 cloves minced garlic
  • Ground Ginger
  • 1/4 teaspoon cayenne pepper (or more, to taste)
  • 1/4 cup hoisin sauce
  • 2 tablespoons soy sauce
  • 2 green onions, thinly sliced

How to Make Asian Chicken Linguine

  1. Cook 1 pound linguine according to package directions. Rinse and drain; set aside.
  2. While pasta cooks, heat 1 tablespoon vegetable oil in a large skillet or wok over medium heat.
  3. Add 1 pound boneless, skinless chicken breasts, cut into bite-sized pieces. Saute for 5-8 minutes, or until no longer pink, stirring constantly.
  4. Add 8 ounces sliced mushrooms, 2 cloves minced garlic, 1 tablespoon grated fresh ginger, and 1/4 teaspoon cayenne pepper (or more, to taste).
  5. Cook for 5 minutes, stirring frequently, until mushrooms are softened.
  6. Stir in 1/4 cup hoisin sauce, 2 tablespoons soy sauce, and the cooked linguine.
  7. Toss to coat evenly, cooking for 2-3 minutes until pasta is heated through and sauce is slightly thickened.
  8. Stir in 2 green onions, thinly sliced.
  9. Serve immediately. Garnish with sesame seeds (optional).

Chef's Tip for Extra Flavor

Chef's secret: layers of flavor make a dish truly memorable! Consider what a little extra something could bring – perhaps a touch of acidity like a good vinegar or citrus zest, a hint of smokiness from paprika, a bit of umami from mushrooms or soy sauce, or a sprinkle of toasted nuts for texture. Experiment and taste as you go!
