Ingredients

Scale

Pasta and Chicken

  • 12 oz (340 g) penne pasta
  • 2 boneless, skinless chicken breasts, cut into bite-sized pieces
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1/4 teaspoon black pepper

Bang Bang Sauce

  • 1/2 cup mayonnaise
  • 1/4 cup sweet chili sauce
  • 2 tablespoons sriracha sauce
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced

Garnish

  • 2 green onions, sliced
  • 1 tablespoon chopped fresh parsley (optional)

Instructions

  1. Cook Pasta: Cook the penne pasta according to the package instructions until al dente. Drain the pasta well and set it aside.
  2. Cook Chicken: Season the chicken pieces with salt and black pepper. Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the chicken and cook for 6-8 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the chicken is golden brown and cooked through.
  3. Prepare Bang Bang Sauce: In a small bowl, whisk together mayonnaise, sweet chili sauce, sriracha sauce, and minced garlic until smooth and fully combined to create the bang bang sauce.
  4. Toss Pasta and Chicken: Add the cooked pasta and chicken to the skillet. Pour the bang bang sauce over the mixture and toss thoroughly to coat everything evenly. Heat through for 1-2 minutes to meld flavors.
  5. Garnish and Serve: Remove from heat. Garnish with sliced green onions and chopped fresh parsley if desired. Serve immediately for the best flavor and texture.

Notes

  • For extra spice, add more sriracha or a pinch of red pepper flakes.
  • Use gluten-free pasta to make this recipe gluten free.
  • The parsley garnish is optional but adds a fresh, herby note.
  • Make sure not to overcook the chicken to keep it juicy and tender.
  • Leftovers can be stored in the refrigerator and reheated gently on the stovetop or microwave.
