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)

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

Want to unlock deeper, more complex flavors? Try toasting your whole spices before grinding them, or blooming ground spices in a little warm oil to enhance their aroma. Deglazing your pan with a bit of stock, wine, or even water after browning ingredients can capture those tasty caramelized bits, adding richness to your dish.
