How to Make Chicken On Pasta With Spicy Asian Style Sauce

  1. Heat 2 tablespoons vegetable oil in a large saucepan over medium-high heat.
  2. Sauté 1-2 jalapeños, finely chopped, and 2 cloves garlic, minced, until softened (about 3 minutes).
  3. Add 1 (13.5 ounce) can full-fat coconut milk, 1/2 cup peanut butter (smooth or crunchy), 1/4 cup soy sauce, 2 tablespoons lime juice, 1 teaspoon sesame oil, 1 tablespoon grated fresh ginger, 1 tablespoon honey, and 1/2 - 1 teaspoon hot pepper sauce (adjust to taste). Whisk until completely smooth.
  4. Bring the sauce to a gentle simmer. Reduce heat to low and maintain a simmer for 5 minutes to allow flavors to meld.
  5. Remove from heat and season generously with salt and pepper to taste.
  6. In a large skillet, heat 1 tablespoon vegetable oil over medium-high heat.
  7. Add 1 bell pepper (any color), chopped, 8 ounces cremini mushrooms, sliced, and 2 green onions, thinly sliced. Sauté for 2-3 minutes until slightly softened.
  8. Add 1 pound boneless, skinless chicken breasts, cut into bite-sized pieces. Cook until thoroughly cooked through (about 5-7 minutes), stirring occasionally.
  9. Pour the peanut sauce over the chicken and vegetables. Stir to coat evenly. Simmer gently for 2 minutes to heat through.
  10. Meanwhile, cook 1 pound linguine according to package directions until al dente. Drain well.
  11. Add the cooked linguine to the skillet with the chicken and sauce. Toss gently to combine ensuring all pasta is coated.
  12. Serve immediately. Garnish with extra chopped green onions, sesame seeds, or chopped peanuts (optional).
