Equipment

• ▢
  1 Large Pot
• ▢
  1 Skillet
• ▢
  1 Spatula
• ▢
  1 Pair of Tongs
• ▢
  1 Cutting Board and Knife
• ▢
  1 Colander
• ▢
  Stirring Spoon or Ladle
• ▢
  Measuring Spoons and Cups

Ingredients

• ▢ 1 pound Chicken breast or thighs
• ▢ 10 ounces Spaghetti pasta
• ▢ 2 tbsp Olive oil
• ▢ 3 Garlic cloves minced
• ▢ 10 ounces Rotel tomatoes diced
• ▢ 1 tsp Italian seasoning
• ▢ Salt and pepper to taste
• ▢ Grated Parmesan cheese for topping

Instructions

• Cook the spaghetti according to package instructions in a large pot of salted boiling water until al dente. Drain and set aside.
• In a skillet over medium heat, add olive oil. Sauté diced chicken until it turns golden brown and is fully cooked. Remove the chicken from the skillet and set it aside.
• In the same skillet, add minced garlic and sauté for a minute until fragrant. Pour in the can of Rotel tomatoes (including the juice) and add Italian seasoning. Let the mixture simmer for about 5-7 minutes to blend the flavors.
• Return the cooked chicken to the skillet with the tomato mixture. Allow it to simmer together for an additional 5 minutes, ensuring the flavors meld.
• Add the cooked spaghetti to the skillet, tossing it with the sauce until the spaghetti is thoroughly coated and infused with the flavors.
• Season with salt and pepper to taste. Plate the Zesty Italian Chicken Spaghetti and top each serving with grated Parmesan cheese.

Notes

1. Sauce Stirring: Stir the sauce occasionally while simmering to blend the flavors evenly.
2. Taste as You Go: Regularly taste the spaghetti a minute before it’s fully cooked to ensure it’s al dente.
3. Chicken Resting: Let the cooked chicken rest for a few minutes before adding it back to the sauce; this helps retain its juiciness.
