Sriracha Chicken and Pasta

If you are like me, you are always looking for a delicious chicken pasta recipe. This is one of those easy chicken recipes that has a little kick to it. Sometimes you need a little spice in your life.

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.  I think they blended together beautifully.
