This is just a recipe I came up with when I was pressed for time. A happy accident that is now a regular favorite. The kiddos will like it too!

Steps

1

Follow the box instructions to prepare your pasta. Add 1 tablespoon of butter and your soy sauce to the water for boiling.
2

Drain pasta and place into a large bowl or dish of your choice. Add the other 1 tablespoon of butter, 1 tablespoon of soy sauce and half of your jar of sauce. Stir until the pasta is coated and butter is melted.
3

For your chicken, you will need to cube and trim any fat. I recommend smaller cubes if you’re serving to children.
4

In a medium to large skillet, heat your oil on medium.
5

Add your minced garlic and wait to hear it sizzle. Once sizzling, add in your chopped onions and sauté for 2-3 minutes.
6

Next, add your chicken, soy sauce, sesame oil, and remainder of the jar of sauce. Stir and coat chicken.
7

Cook on medium-high heat until chicken is done. Typically 5-7 minutes. Let cool for 5 minutes.
8

Add your chicken to the already cooked pasta and mix evenly. Serve hot or chill overnight. Both are delicious!
