    Bold & Creamy Spicy Chicken and Jalapeño Pasta with a Kick of Heat

    Ingredients:

    8 oz (225g) penne or rigatoni pasta

    2 tablespoons olive oil

    2 boneless, skinless chicken breasts, sliced thin

    Salt and black pepper, to taste

    2 garlic cloves, minced

    2 fresh jalapeños, thinly sliced (deseeded for less heat)

    1/2 teaspoon smoked paprika

    1/4 teaspoon red chili flakes (optional)

    1 cup heavy cream

    1/2 cup chicken broth

    1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese

    Juice of 1/2 lime

    1/4 cup chopped fresh cilantro or parsley

    Optional: extra jalapeño slices for garnish

    Directions:

    Cook pasta according to package instructions. Drain and set aside.

    Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Season chicken with salt and pepper and sauté for 5–6 minutes, or until golden and cooked through. Remove and set aside.

    In the same pan, add garlic and sliced jalapeños. Sauté for 1–2 minutes until fragrant.

    Stir in smoked paprika, chili flakes (if using), and chicken broth. Simmer for 2–3 minutes to deglaze the pan.

    Add heavy cream and bring to a gentle simmer. Stir in Parmesan until melted and smooth.

    Return chicken to the skillet and cook in the sauce for 2–3 more minutes.

    Toss in the cooked pasta and stir to coat. Finish with lime juice and fresh herbs.

    Serve warm with extra jalapeño slices for a fiery finish.

    1 tablespoon sugar

    1 teaspoon baking powder

    1/2 teaspoon baking soda

    1/2 teaspoon salt

    1 cup buttermilk

    1 egg

    2 tablespoons melted butter

    1/2 cup shredded cheddar cheese

    1–2 jalapeños, finely chopped

    For the salad:

    6 slices cooked bacon, crumbled

    1 cup cherry tomatoes, halved

    1/2 red onion, finely diced

    1 cup corn kernels (fresh, canned, or thawed frozen)

    1 green bell pepper, diced

    1 cup shredded cheddar cheese

    2 cups romaine lettuce or mixed greens, chopped
