Easy Weeknight Grilled Chicken & Garlic Spaghetti

This quick little recipe was put together by Yours Truly, and is perfect if you're looking for a good, week-night meal that doesn't take all evening to make. I used Tyson® Grilled & Ready chicken breast strips, which are the ultimate time-saver in this recipe. No defrosting, no nothing! The most time-consuming part of the whole recipe is waiting for the water to boil!

I was fortunate to have all of the ingredients in my kitchen already, which is how I came up with the recipe. You know those nights - tired, hungry, close to pay day so funds are a bit low. You go looking through all of your cupboards trying to find stuff that'll go good together. It's true what they say - necessity is the mother of invention!

What You'll Need:

Spaghetti noodles (we use whole grain), tomato sauce, Tyson® Grilled & Ready chicken breast strips, minced garlic, vegetable oil, water (not pictured - ignore the messy counter!)

Start by defrosting/warming up your chicken in a skillet over medium heat

While that's going, get your noodles a-cookin' and let them boil until they're aaaalmost done

Once the chicken has started to brown, remove it from the skillet and set aside

Drain your noodles and put them in the skillet with the vegetable oil and garlic

Stir until coated evenly

Cook 3-4 minutes on medium-high heat

Stir in tomato sauce and water

Cover

Reduce to medium-low and simmer for about 10 minutes

Stir in chicken

Increase heat to medium

Cover and cook for about 3 minutes

I added a little parmesan to mine, and enjoyed it with a glass of wine!
