Directions
-
Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Cook spaghetti according to package directions until al dente, then drain and set aside.
-
Cut the boneless, skinless chicken breasts into bite-sized pieces. Season lightly with salt and pepper.
-
Heat oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the chicken pieces and cook until golden brown and cooked through, about 5-7 minutes. Remove chicken from skillet and set aside.
-
In the same skillet, reduce heat to medium. Add sliced leeks and red bell pepper strips. Sauté for 3-4 minutes until slightly tender.
-
Add minced ginger and garlic to the vegetables. Cook for 1 minute until fragrant, being careful not to burn the garlic.
-
Stir in chicken bouillon dissolved in water (or chicken broth) and any other sauce ingredients like soy sauce or honey. Simmer for 2-3 minutes until the sauce thickens slightly.
-
Return the cooked chicken to the skillet. Toss to coat evenly in the ginger sauce.
-
Add the cooked spaghetti to the skillet. Toss everything together until the pasta is well-coated with the sauce and heated through. Serve immediately.
