Spicy Chicken Pasta | Serves 2

🍴INGREDIENTS🍴

Chicken:

1x 9oz/250g Chicken Breast, at room temp
2 tsp Olive Oil
1/2 tsp Smoked Paprika
1/2 tsp Cayenne Pepper
1/4 tsp Salt
1/4 tsp Black Pepper

Pasta:

7oz / 200g Linguine (or other long cut pasta)
2/3 cup / 160ml Heavy/Double Cream
1/3 cup / 80ml Chicken Stock
1/4 cup / 60ml Dry White Wine
1oz / 30g Parmesan, finely grated
6 (2oz/60g) Sun Dried Tomatoes, finely diced
2 tbsp Tomato Puree (tomato paste in US)
1 tbsp Butter
1 tbsp Fresh Parsley, finely diced
1 small Onion, finely diced
1 tsp Garlic, minced
1/2 tsp Chilli Flakes
Salt & Pepper, to taste

🍴METHOD🍴

In a small bowl, combine 2 tsp olive oil, 1/2 tsp smoked paprika and cayenne pepper, and 1/4 tsp salt and black pepper.

Butterfly your chicken breast right the way through to make 2 even sized breasts. Coat in spicy marinade.

Place in a skillet over medium-high heat and fry for 3mins each side, or until nicely charred and just cooked through the centre (depending on thickness may take more or less time). Place to one side and when ready, slice into thin strips, ensuring you slice against the natural grain of the chicken and at a slight angle.

Turn heat down to medium and melt in 1 tbsp butter, scraping off the flavour from the chicken with a wooden spoon. Add your onion and fry until it begins to soften and pick up colour. Add 1 tsp garlic, fry for 1-2mins longer, then add 1/2 tsp chilli flakes. Fry for 1 min longer, then add sun dried tomatoes. Fry for another minute just to soften them, then pour in 1/4cup/60ml dry white wine. Allow the wine to completely reduce (important to burn off the alcohol, should take 5 or so mins).

Meanwhile, add 7oz/200g pasta to salted boiling water and cook until al dente. Retain a cup of starchy pasta water towards the end of cooking.

Add 2 tbsp tomato puree to the pan. Fry this for 2mins (important to sweeten the taste) then deglaze the pan with 1/3cup/80ml chicken stock. Pour in 2/3cup/160ml heavy/double cream and season to taste with salt & pepper.

Use pasta tongs to add pasta in and toss to combine. Add 1oz/30g freshly grated parmesan, 1 tbsp fresh parsley and your chicken strips. Toss again to coat, using your starchy pasta water to thin out if needed.

Can someone help me out; What does the white wine adds to the dish and is it necessary to add?

Love how this video was straight to the point simple and short. I enjoy these type of videos instead of overly exaggerated, talking nonstop kind of videos 😂 I hope your channel blows up soon ❤️

I made this without the wine! I added in 1 full fresh chopped chilli, and one fresh grated tomato to the ingredients. ... was the best spicy chicken pasta I’ve ever had 🤤

I made this recipe with the following substitutions: didn’t use any sun dried tomatoes and used tomato sauce instead of tomato purée. I reduced the tomato sauce until it was very thick to remove the water. Even with those substitutions, this recipe was DELICIOUS! Hoping the next time I make this, I can use the correct ingredients. I bet it will taste even better! Thank you for this awesome recipe!!

Just came across this recipe and let me just tell you all WOW!!! This has to be by far the best pasta recipe I have ever done. When I made it the first time it was completely gone. Now I have to double it or triple the recipe to make sure my whole family can get some. Yummy don’t think twice just make it!!!

3/4 years ago in the middle of Covid my girlfriend and I would learn how to cook together via Skype, and this was one of the first recipes we ever tried.

Today I'm cooking this in our apartment as a surprise to her

[maryumsh]

just made this pasta! i use fettuccine noodles and double the sauce recipe but used 500g noodles and 5 chicken filets it was PERFECT! i also added some baby spinach the entire family loved it !! if you are more tolerant of spices definitely add more than it says or add some hot sauce bc this is definitely not nearly spicy enough for a brown household 😂 we topped ours with a few drops of tabasco at the table xx

[daniachaudhry]

I made this today and it was so good! The chicken tastes BOMB. Everyone loved it and we had no leftovers 🤣

[LunaYutube]

I'm here again because this recipe is THAT good and I need to make it again! Everyone at home loved it :)

This is the first pasta I’ve made from scratch a year ago and it is still my go to recipe. What a wonderful video and a simple yet lovely dish. Thanks for giving me a recipe to show off to my parents

[chaopizza]

This might be the best pasta I’ve ever cooked. I didn’t have sun dried tomato so I substituted it with canned whole peeled plum tomatoes. I doubled on spices and added some garlic powder and Italian seasonings. Breathtaking! Will definitely cook it again. Thank you!!!
