Spicy Chicken Pasta

Serves: 5 people

This recipe came to be in as a happy coincidence. It was late one night, and my family didn’t have much food in the house. Scrambling to find something for us to eat, we had some chicken cutlets and noodles. We cookded it up, and added some pepper flakes for a spicy kick, and it turned into a staple recipe that we cook every so often now.

INGREDIENTS:

Olive oil Red Pepper Flakes Pasta *(any kind) Chicken Cutlets (1-2 lbs) Bread crumbs

Milk Flour Minced Garlic

*small sauce pan, large pot, bowl, skillet

*Cook’s notes: To save time on this dish, buy pre-cooked breaded chicken cutlets. 1. Fill pot with water and heat to boil.

2. Pat the chicken dry, before dredging it in flour in a bowl or ziplock bag.

3. Dip the floured cutlet in milk, followed by dipping in bread crumbs.

4. In the meantime, have a skillet heating up with a few tablespoons of olive oil.

5. Cook breaded chicken 4-5 minutes on each side. Once cooked, cube it and set aside.

6. Once water is boiling, throw in a pound of linguini, or preferred choice of pasta, to the pot.

7. Once pasta is cooked, drain and combine with chicken in a large bowl.

8. In a small sauce pan, add a quarter-cup to a half-cup of olive oil, a 1/2 tablespoon of hot pepper flakes, and a half tablespoon of minced garlic.

9. Heat until the pepper flakes begin to crackle. Once done, pour over the chicken and pasta, and stir until mixed. Enjoy!
