Sweet, creamy & flexible
Bang Bang Chicken
Warm chicken or shrimp, pasta, and a creamy sweet chili sauce make a filling dinner with plenty of room to adjust the sweetness and heat.
Ingredients
- ¾ bottle sweet chili sauce
- ½–¾ cup mayonnaise
- 1–2 tbsp honey
- 1 tsp Sriracha, optional
- 1–2 lbs chicken thighs, chicken breasts, cooked chicken, or shrimp
- ½–1 box pasta, such as spaghetti
- Chicken broth, if pressure-cooking chicken
- Rotisserie Seasoning, if using unseasoned chicken
Directions
- Cook your protein. Leftover or precooked chicken works too.
- Cook pasta according to package directions.
- For pressure-cooker chicken thighs, cook about 10 minutes with broth and seasoning. Chicken breasts can cook about 15 minutes on the poultry setting.
- For skillet chicken, cut into pieces and cook in olive oil.
- Drain the pasta and chop the chicken if needed.
- Add half the pasta, half the chicken, and all the sauce to a large bowl. Toss, then add more pasta and chicken as long as everything still coats well.
Bang Bang Sauce
Whisk sweet chili sauce, mayonnaise, and honey together. Chill until ready to use. Add more honey for sweetness or Sriracha for heat.
Shrimp Option 💜
Peel and devein shrimp if needed, then sauté in butter and garlic until cooked through. Shrimp cooks quickly, so start it when the pasta is nearly done. Leave the shrimp whole or cut it up to stretch it through more servings.
