Sweet & Spicy Chicken with Veggies

Preheat oven *425

For the marinade:

1 cup of soy sauce

1/2 cup of brown sugar

4 tbsp. Sriracha hot chili sauce

3pds. of boneless,skinless chicken

1 head of broccoli

1/2 cup of carrots

2 medium sweet onions

3 tbsp.  of Extra Virgin Olive Oil

1 tbsp. of minced garlic

1/2 lb. of fettuccini noodles

Okay first of I have to tell you about the heavenly marinade I made for my chicken.

While I was at the grocery store I spotted Sriracha Hot Chili Sauce and decided I would try creating a marinade for my chicken with it.

I am in love with this stuff!!! The amounts for the marinade seem like a lot but that is because I only use half as a marinade and reserve the other half to use as a sauce.

For the marinade I whisked together –

1 cup of soy sauce

1/2 cup of brown sugar

4 tbsp. of the chili sauce

Chop up 3 lbs of skinless chicken breast into bit size pieces and place the chicken and half of the marinade into a storage bag.

Allow it to marinade about 2-3 hours (in the refrigerator) to soak into the chicken.

Chop up –

1 head of broccoli

2 medium size sweet onions

1/2 cup of carrots ( I like to use baby carrots and slice them in half lengthwise)

Place the veggies on a baking pan ( I use foil to keep clean up easy) and drizzle with 3 tbsp.  of Extra Virgin Olive Oil (you can use more or less depending on how health conscious you are).

Then sprinkle the veggies with 1 tbsp. of minced garlic.

Place the chicken on another baking pan (again I cover it with foil) and place both pans in the oven at *425. The veggies took about 20 minutes but the chicken took about 30 minutes. I always check my poultry with the meat thermometer just to be safe. And also keep in mind that all ovens cook different, so adjust time according to how fast or slow your oven cooks.

While the chicken and veggies are baking, boil  1/2 pd. of fettuccine noodles (follow directions on box.) Keep the eye hot while you drain the noodles and pour the other half of the reserved sauce into the pan (I do not use any of the marinade that has been on the raw chicken.) After the sauce heats for a minute add the noodles back in and turn off heat.

In a large mixing bowl combine veggies, chicken, and noodles. And enjoy!!

If anyone has any recipe ideas for the sriracha chili sauce I would love to hear them!! 🙂
