Fusion Delight: Spicy Peanut Butter Chicken Pasta

Today’s Unique Creation: Spicy Peanut Butter Chicken Pasta

Hey there, foodies! Today, I’m excited to share one of my favorite creations that combines two seemingly unrelated flavors: spicy peanut butter and savory chicken. This dish is perfect for those cozy nights when you want something comforting yet unique on your plate.

Ingredients:

• 200g chicken breast
• 150g spaghetti
• 50g peanut butter
• 1 tsp chili flakes
• 2 tbsp soy sauce
• 1 tsp minced ginger
• 2 cloves minced garlic
• 2 green onions, sliced
• 1 lime, juiced
• Handful of chopped roasted peanuts
• 1 tsp sesame seeds
• to taste

Kitchen Tools:

• knife
• cutting board
• pot
• skillet
• spatula
• whisk

I start by cooking the spaghetti according to package instructions. Meanwhile, in a skillet over medium heat, I cook the diced chicken until it’s browned and cooked through. Once the chicken is done, I set it aside and add the minced garlic and ginger to the skillet, sautéing until fragrant.

Next, I whisk together the peanut butter, soy sauce, chili flakes, lime juice, and a splash of water in a small bowl to make the sauce. I then pour the sauce over the garlic and ginger in the skillet, stirring until well combined.

Once the sauce is heated through, I add the cooked chicken back to the skillet, tossing to coat it evenly. At this point, I season the mixture with salt and pepper to taste, adjusting as needed.

Finally, I add the cooked spaghetti to the skillet, tossing everything together until the noodles are well coated in the spicy peanut butter sauce. To serve, I sprinkle sliced green onions, chopped roasted peanuts, and sesame seeds on top for a burst of freshness and crunch.

The total weight of this delicious Spicy Peanut Butter Chicken Pasta is approximately 600g, with around 4 servings. Each serving is approximately 150g, and you’re looking at an estimated 400 calories per serving.

One unique tip for this dish is to drizzle a little extra lime juice over the pasta just before serving. The acidity of the lime helps cut through the richness of the peanut butter, adding a bright and zesty note to each bite.

I hope you give this Spicy Peanut Butter Chicken Pasta a try and enjoy the unexpected fusion of flavors. Feel free to play around with the ingredients and make it your own. Happy cooking!
