Tips

  • Marinate the chicken for 30 minutes or overnight for best flavor.
  • You can use other chili pastes if chipotle paste is unavailable.
  • When blending the sauce, ensure it's not too watery; it will thicken when added to the heated pan.
  • Cook pasta in advance and save some pasta water for the sauce.
  • Store for up to 4 days and reheat in a pan or microwave.
