I had this dish at a local restaurant. The waitress quickly told me the ingredients and I experimented with the amounts. It tastes very close to the original dish (good thing, the restaurant is no longer open). I like spicy dishes and this is good. Enjoy!

- Don't overcrowd the skillet. If you overcrowd the skillet, the chicken will not cook evenly. Cook the chicken in batches if necessary.
- Blacken the chicken over high heat. This will create a nice, crispy crust.
- Don't move the chicken around too much. Once you place the chicken in the skillet, let it cook for a few minutes without moving it. This will help to create a nice crust.

- Serve the pasta immediately. The penne pasta is best served immediately after it is cooked. This will prevent the pasta from becoming soggy.
