Ingredients

1 lb (16 oz) spaghetti or bucatini
2 chicken breasts
1/4 cup vegetable oil
1/3 cup sesame oil
1/3 cup honey
1/3 cup soy sauce
1 tsp salt
1/4 tsp garlic powder
2 tsp crushed red pepper
1/2 cup cilantro chopped
3/4 cup dry roasted peanuts
1/2 cup green onions thinly sliced
2 Tbsp sesame seeds untoasted or toasted

Instructions

In a medium size skillet set over medium heat, add a drizzle of olive oil and cook the chicken breasts until they reach an internal temperature of 165 degrees (I like to season mine with salt and pepper, but it's optional).
Meanwhile, in a large pot of water set over high heat, cook pasta till al dente, according to the package's instructions.
While the chicken and pasta are cooking, in a small saucepan, whisk together the vegetable oil, sesame oil, honey, soy sauce, salt and garlic powder. Cook over medium heat for 2-3 minutes, then stir in the red pepper then immediately remove from the heat.
When the pasta is ready, drain it and toss with the "dressing." Chop the cooked chicken and add along with the cilantro, peanuts, green onions and sesame seeds, stir to combine. Serve immediately and top with extra garnishes if desired.

Notes

-If you think you'll have leftovers, I'd suggest adding the peanuts to the top of each dish you serve up, and then adding them again the next day so they don't get soggy... although I like it either way 🙂
