Preparation for Spicy Chicken Pasta
- Mix together in a small bowl two teaspoons of olive oil, one half teaspoon each of smoked paprika and cayenne pepper, and one quarter teaspoon each of salt and black pepper.
- Perform a full-through butterfly cut on your chicken breast to separate it into two even-sized pieces. Marinate in a hot sauce and coat.
- Put in a skillet and cook over medium-high heat for three minutes on each side, or until well blackened and just cooked through the middle.
- Put to the side, and when you’re ready, slice the chicken into thin strips, making sure to cut against the grain of the chicken and at a small angle.
- Reduce the heat to medium and add 1 tablespoon of butter as you use a wooden spoon to scrape the flavor off the chicken as it cooks. Fry your onion until it begins to soften and develop color, then remove it from the pan.
- After cooking for an additional one to two minutes, stir in one teaspoon of garlic and half a teaspoon of chili flakes. Continue to fry for a further minute before adding sun-dried tomatoes.
- Fry for an additional minute only to soften them, and then add a quarter cup or sixty milliliters of dry white wine. Wait until the wine has entirely reduced before serving.
- In the meantime, place pasta into a pot of salted water and boil until al dente. At the very end of the cooking process, set aside one cup of the starchy pasta water.
- To the pan, add 2 tablespoons of tomato puree. Fry this for two minutes, and then deglaze the pan with one-third of a cup or eighty milliliters of chicken stock.
- Pour in 2/3 cup (160 ml) of heavy cream or double cream, and then season with salt and pepper to taste.
- Toss the mixture after adding the pasta with the help of spaghetti tongs.
- Include your chicken strips, along with 1 ounce of freshly grated parmesan and 1 tablespoon of fresh parsley.
- Repeat the tossing step to ensure even coating, and if necessary, use the starchy pasta water to thicken the sauce.
