→ Main Ingredients
01 -
Some black pepper, as much as you want, freshly cracked
02 -
A couple glugs (30 ml) olive oil
03 -
A whole red bell pepper, sliced thin
04 -
A quarter cup (60 ml) lower-salt soy sauce
05 -
A quarter cup (60 ml) real honey
06 -
3 garlic cloves, chopped up fine
07 -
300 g of fettuccine or any pasta you love
08 -
3 or 4 chicken breasts (no skin or bones)
→ Optional Garnish
09 -
A handful of chopped green onions
10 -
Chili flakes to taste
# Steps to Follow:
01 -
Dish up the pasta and pop it onto plates. Sprinkle green onions on top, and eat it right away while it’s still steaming.
02 -
Toss the chicken strips back into the pan. Mix in the cooked pasta and toss in some chili flakes for a bit of a kick. Make sure everything’s coated in the sauce.
03 -
Drop the heat to medium. Pour in the honey and the soy sauce, and let it bubble for a couple minutes so it gets a bit thicker.
04 -
Without cleaning the skillet, throw in the garlic and bell pepper. Let them sizzle for two or three minutes until you can really smell the garlic and the pepper is getting softer.
05 -
Add black pepper to your chicken. Toss the chicken breasts in hot oil in a big pan over medium-high. Cook until both sides are golden and the middle’s not pink, about 6–8 minutes each batch. Take them out and slice them into strips.
06 -
Boil a large pot of water, salt it well, and toss in the pasta. Cook just until it’s got a little bite left (al dente). Drain off the water and set aside the pasta.
