This Sriracha Chicken Pasta is one of those easy chicken recipes that has a little kick to it. Sometimes you need a little spice in your life; this sriracha chicken pasta is easy to make, healthy and delicious.

Sriracha is a delicious blend of chili peppers and garlic. Most of the srirachas sold in the grocery store also contain some vinegar and maybe some salt.
Sriracha is a wonderfully delicious hot or chili sauce with a very unique flavor. I absolutely love it's spicy flavor, but I do warn you that it might cause heartburn for some.
It is one of those condiments that people seem to love or hate. I think the flavors in this recipe blended together beautifully- you can't go wrong with sweet and spicy.
If you are looking for some more pasta recipes, you will love this One Dish Salsa Pasta Bake, Pasta Primavera and definitely this Pasta and Sausage in Garlic White Wine Sauce. My family loves pasta recipes so I will always be creating new ones to share with you.
All of these would be even more yummy with some Low Carb Bulletproof Hot Chocolate, Apple Chai Latte, Eggnog Latte and definitely some Spiked Apple Cider!
Why You Should Make This Sriracha Chicken Pasta
I bet any vegetables would be wonderful in this dish. I liked having the sweet basil with the spicy sriracha sauce to offset each other.
Personally for years I have been putting hot sauce on my eggs, chicken, salads...you name it. I first learned about sriracha sauce from one of my girlfriends who literally brings hot sauce with her wherever she goes.
You might think this sounds weird but she is perfectly content carrying it around and never missing the opportunity to slather it on just about everything.
She asked me if I liked it and not only had I never heard of it before, I could barely pronounce it. It was then that she introduced me to sriracha and it has been a true love affair ever since.
This is so easy to make it can be one of your favorite busy weeknight recipes. It might look fancy, but thank goodness it only LOOKS like it takes a long time.
Recipe Tips When Making This Sriracha Chicken Pasta
Since I first created this recipe I have substituted all types of veggies in here. Although I must say that I do think the zucchini and eggplant are the best in here, but go ahead and get creative with some other vegetables.
Use what you like or what you have in the house. We all need to simplify things these days and if that means you can save yourself from a trip to the grocery store then I am all for it.
I don't think you should leave out the tomatoes though. There is something about the slightly sweet grape tomatoes with the spicy sriracha that blend together perfectly.
