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