Visual Cues & Timing Secrets
Start by cooking your pasta until al dente—remember it’ll bake more in the oven, so don’t overcook it. While that’s going, whisk together the sauce ingredients in a big bowl. This is where the flavor comes alive, so taste it and adjust the sriracha to your family’s spice tolerance.
Toss the chicken right into the sauce, then fold in the pasta. Spread it all into a baking dish, top with the cheeses, and let the oven do the work. The chicken will cook through in the sauce, keeping it tender and juicy. I love how the top gets all bubbly and golden—it’s the sign that it’s ready to pull out and devour.
