Why This Recipe Is So Enjoyable

Quick to make and uses basic ingredients that are easy to find. It combines tender chicken with comforting pasta, making it perfect for a busy weeknight. The flavors are mild yet satisfying, so it appeals to both kids and adults.

Better Cooking Tips

- Use boneless, skinless chicken breasts for even cooking and easy slicing.
- Cook the pasta just until al dente to avoid it becoming mushy when mixed with the sauce.
- Add fresh herbs like basil or parsley at the end for a burst of fresh flavor.

Step 1

In a bowl, toss the chicken with cornflour, soy sauce, salt, pepper, and chili flakes until it’s well coated. Heat some oil in a pan and fry the chicken until it’s golden brown. Once cooked, set it aside.

Step 2

In the same pan, add a little more oil and sauté the chopped garlic for about a minute until fragrant.

Step 3

Stir in the tomato paste and cook it for 2-3 minutes to bring out the flavor.

Step 4

Season with salt, pepper, and chili flakes, then add the carrots, cabbage, onion, and capsicum. Cook everything together for about a minute.

Step 5

Toss the fried chicken back into the pan and mix it all up. Let it cook for another minute so the flavors combine.

Step 6

Finally, add the boiled spaghetti, give everything a good toss, and heat through.

Step 7

Serve up your tasty chicken pasta and enjoy!

Serving Ideas For Every Meal

Serve with a side salad or steamed vegetables to add color and nutrition. A sprinkle of grated Parmesan cheese on top can enhance the taste. Garlic bread or crusty bread also pairs nicely to soak up any extra sauce.

Keeping It Fresh

Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Reheat gently on the stove or microwave, adding a splash of water or broth to keep the pasta moist. Avoid freezing if the dish contains cream-based sauces, as texture may change.
