directions

  • Preheat oven to 350. (This can all be done concurrently).
  • In large skillet, simmer chicken breasts in olive oil, white wine, and/or butter until lightly browned.
  • Cool, break/cut into pieces, set aside.
  • In large saucepan, saute onion and garlic until soft. Add all canned ingredients (and peppers, if desired).
  • Stir and simmer, covered, about 8 minutes.
  • Add chicken and simmer until chicken is hot.
  • In large pot, boil spaghetti 10-12 minutes until just done.
  • Drain, rinse under cold water, and drain again. Place in large pot for remainder of steps.
  • Add sauce with chicken to the spaghetti and mix well. Sauce should resemble typical pasta sauce in that it is not too thin, but liquid enough to reduce in oven.
  • Cover with top or foil and bake in oven for 30-40 minuntes. Take off cover, lay cheese over top, and place back in oven uncovered. Bake until cheese is melted, about 7 minutes.
  • Can reheat in microwave with more cheese the next day!

  1. ahhh, Indigo, I was in need of some comfort food, and this fit the bill. !! I loved this and will be making tis again, but I am gonna have to make it for a potluck or something. My family just wasn't into it the way I was. (you need to know they can be incredibly picky) The littler ones thought this was too spicy (I did not use the jalepenos, and I personally would have loved too)and another does not like olives. Even with there pickyness though they did eat what I put on their plate. I used a can of tomato sauce, not the paste. And I added about a 1/2 cup of sour cream, and a green bell pepper. Again thank you.

For now, I am a student in Boston, not quite trying to make ends meet, but certainly trying my luck in the kitchen now that I have one all to my very own! I loooooove spicy food and have nostalgia for many foods that I can't quite put my finger on or track down! I think being a chef is my second calling (writing being my first!)
