Recently I found myself craving some comfort food, so I decided to make a dish that my mom used to make. It’s called Magnolia Table Chicken Spaghetti.
This recipe is a family favorite in our house. It’s so easy to prepare and tastes amazing! The ingredients are simple, the instructions are clear, and you can make it your own by adding different spices or veggies that you like.
My family loves this dish because it doesn’t feel like we’re eating “diet food,” but I know they will get plenty of protein from all the chicken! This is one of those recipes where everyone wants seconds (and thirds!)
How To Prepare Magnolia Table Chicken Spaghetti?
It’s so simple.
Ingredients
- 1 package of spaghetti (I get the whole wheat kind)
- 1 lb Chicken breast, cut into cubes about 1/2 inch thick
- 1 tbsp Olive oil (you can use vegan butter if you like)
- 3 cloves garlic, minced (or 2 tsp of dried garlic flakes + 1/4 tsp garlic powder)
- 2 medium tomatoes, chopped (I used grape and gave them a rough chop. You can also use canned diced tomatoes if you’re short on time.)
- Freshly ground pepper (to taste)
- 1/4 cup Parmesan cheese (optional but delicious!)
Direction
1. In a large skillet over medium heat, add olive oil and garlic and cook until fragrant (about 1 minute).
2. Add cubed-up chicken breast, and season with salt and pepper to taste. Cook for about 5 minutes on each side or until the chicken is cooked through.
3. In a large pot of salted water, cook the spaghetti al dente (about 6 minutes)
4. Add tomatoes and cooked chicken into the pot of spaghetti and toss well. Mix in Parmesan cheese if you like
5. Serve hot! These are just some of my favorites, and I hope that you will enjoy them as much as we do!
