The Spicy Olive’s Sesame Chicken Pasta

This recipe is adapted from “As Old As Time” Cookbook available at The Spicy Olive. We changed up the recipe a bit by adding chicken to make it a main dish instead of a side dish.

If you are vegetarian, leave the chicken out and add more of your favorite vegetables.

This dish is also delicious served cold and great to take to pot locks to share with friends!

  6. Add chicken back to pan and stir to incorporate into vegetable. Add pasta back to pan and Add the reserved Sesame Honey Ginger sauce. Taste pasta and add more Honey Ginger or Sesame oil if needed.
