Steps:
- 1. I like to boil up a big batch of chicken at the begging of the week. Shredded it up and store it and then it's ready to go for recipes that night and for a couple of nights to follow. Boiling chicken is super easy. You just toss it into a pot of water and let the pot reach boiling and continue cooking until your chicken is cooked through. This recipe is also a perfect way to use up leftover shredded chicken. 2. Get your oven ready, turning it on to 350°F. Prep your casserole dish with non-stick cooking spray. 3. Now, it's as easy as combining all of your ingredients, including your cooked and shredded chicken and your cooked and drained pasta into a large bowl. Mix together all the ingredients so everything is well coated. Pour all into your casserole dish and bake for 35 minutes or until bubbling and browned around the edges!

Steps:
- Wash and thoroughly dry the chicken breasts. Sprinkle some of the rub over each and work it into the skin well. Melt the butter in a plastic contaner and carry outside to the grill with your favorite wish. Cook the breasts on the grill for 5 minutes or until the chicken starts to firm up. Each time you turn the breasts, baste them with some of the melted butter. Do not overcook as we will be cooking them a little more in the kitchen. When done, set the breasts aside for later.
- Put the spaghetti sauce in a pan, cover it, and heat it on a medium setting.
- Cook the angel hair pasta as usual, add the olive oil to the pot to keep the noodles from sticking together. About 2 minutes before the noodles are done, cover the chicken breasts with grated parmesan cheese and heat them on a plate in the microwave for about 45 seconds or until the parmesan is about halfway melted. Strain the noodles and scoop onto the serving plates. Put a chicken breast on top of the noodles and cover with the spaghetti sauce. Serve immediately.

- Add the vegetables and sauce to the pasta: Once the pasta is cooked, add the vegetables and sauce to the pan. Stir to combine and heat through.
- Serve immediately: Angel hair chicken is best served immediately, while the pasta is still hot and the vegetables are still crisp.
