Grilled Chicken Spaghetti
Ingredients:
– 2 boneless, skinless chicken breasts
– 1 tablespoon olive oil
– 1 teaspoon garlic powder
– 1 teaspoon onion powder
– 1 teaspoon smoked paprika
– 1/2 teaspoon salt
– 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
– 12 ounces spaghetti
– 1 can 14.5 ounces diced tomatoes
– 1 can 15 ounces tomato sauce
– 1 small onion, diced
– 3 cloves garlic, minced
– 1 teaspoon Italian seasoning
– 1/4 teaspoon red pepper flakes optional
– 1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese
– Fresh basil or parsley for garnish
Directions:
1. Season and Grill the Chicken: Preheat your grill to medium-high heat. Rub the chicken breasts with olive oil and season with garlic powder, onion powder, smoked paprika, salt, and pepper. Grill the chicken for 6-8 minutes per side, or until the internal temperature reaches 165F 74C. Once cooked, remove from the grill and let the chicken rest for 5 minutes before slicing it into thin strips.
2. Cook the Spaghetti: Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Cook the spaghetti according to the package instructions until al dente. Drain and set aside.
3. Prepare the Sauce: In a large skillet over medium heat, add a drizzle of olive oil and sauté the diced onion and minced garlic until softened, about 3 minutes. Add the diced tomatoes, tomato sauce, Italian seasoning, and red pepper flakes if using. Stir to combine and let the sauce simmer for 10-15 minutes to allow the flavors to develop.
4. Combine the Pasta and Chicken: Add the cooked spaghetti to the sauce and toss to coat the pasta evenly. Stir in the sliced grilled chicken, ensuring everything is well mixed and heated through.
5. Serve and Garnish: Serve the grilled chicken spaghetti topped with grated Parmesan cheese and fresh basil or parsley. Enjoy this smoky, hearty pasta dish!
