Receta Spicy Chicken Pasta Pizza
Do you like spicy food? Then I have something for you
You must be thinking where is the Pizza. There is no Pizza in this post, sorry! However, this recipe will make you think Hmmm Pizza, since it has similar flavor if not more.
When I can’t decide between having pizza or pasta, this is the recipe I go for. It’s almost like having pizza but with pasta instead of the crust.
You can be creative with this recipe, like adding green chopped chilies, change the type of pasta, or add more herbs, you can really make it your own.

- 3 oz or 100gm Dry pasta
- 100 gm skinless chicken breast
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- Salt
- Black pepper
- 1/2 teaspoon red chili powder
- 1/2 teaspoon dry thyme
- 2 tablespoons tomato paste

- 1 strip celery finely chopped

- For the pasta:
- Cook the pasta as per instruction written on the box, or boil for nine minutes. Drain and then rinse with cold water. Keep aside.
Grilling the chicken:
- Season both sides of chicken breast with salt, black pepper, and garlic powder .
- Place the chicken on a very hot grill. If your grill is too hot, you will not need oil and the chicken will not stick to it.
- Cook the chicken breast for 3 – 4 minutes on each side. Remove and cover immediately with another plate or aluminum foil for 3 minutes, this will allow the chicken to cook further from the inside and stay tender.
- Cut the chicken breast into bite size, and keep aside.
