Spicy Chicken Pasta and Gravy

Spicy Chicken Pasta and Gravy

Spicy chicken pasta and gravy is what’s for dinner. I had some chicken sitting in the fridge that needed to be cooked and decided I wanted some fried chicken and then one thing led to another and presto, spicy chicken, pasta and gravy!

Doesn’t this just look so comforting? Fried spicy chicken bites, chicken gravy, throw in a few veggies, all on top of rotini pasta…. Yum!

Delicious and super spicy is how I would describe this meal. Cayenne pepper adds a bit of a kick to the chicken and the spiciness was perfect but you can totally omit the cayenne pepper if you do not like spicy food.

My peas got a little overcooked but they still tasted like yummy peas. To make sure that your peas do not get all wrinkly when cooking, just keep them below the boiling point and then they should hold their shape. Boiling the peas makes the skin expand and then once the peas cool, they end up looking all deflated. However, there is this one random pea, above in the photo, that totally kept it’s shape through all that boiling. Go figure. :)

Yum, this ended up being a huge hit, with the creamy gravy, along with the spicy chicken bites, and pasta to boot! Who doesn’t love a good pasta meal?!
