Categories     One Dish Meal

Time 2h10m

Yield 8 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 12

1 whole chicken, 3 to 3 1/2 pounds
2 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
1 teaspoon cumin (more if you like it)
1/2 teaspoon allspice
1/4 teaspoon cayenne pepper
salt & freshly ground black pepper
chicken broth, if necessary
1/3 cup raisins, soaked in warm water for 30 minutes and drained
1/2 cup pine nuts, lightly toasted
1 lb spaghetti (or fettucine, tagliatelle or linguine)
1/4 cup slivered almonds, toasted
1/4 cup fresh parsley leaves, chopped

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 350°F Pour oil into a small bowl and mix in cumin, allspice and cayenne pepper. Using your hands rub the seasoned oil all over your chicken. Sprinkle with salt and pepper.
  • Place the chicken, breast-side down in a roasting pan and roast for about 1 1/2 hours, or until well browned and cooked through, turning it over toward the end to brown the breast. When the chicken's nearly ready, bring a large pot of salted water to a boil.
  • Take the chicken out of the oven and take the meat off the bone, leaving the skin on, except for the thick fatty stuff. Tear the chicken into medium-sized pieces. Make sure you tear the chicken apart over the roasting pan so you keep the juices in there for the sauce. You can use a knife and fork to tear it apart or wait until it is cooler and do it with your hands. Discard bones and put the chicken meat aside and keep warm.
  • For the sauce, pour all the juices from the roasting pan into a saucepan. You will need about 1 cup, so add chicken broth if necessary. Add the drained sultanas and the pine nuts. Begin to simmer the sauce when you are ready to cook the pasta. Very important - taste the sauce and add more seasoning if you think it needs more.
  • Cook and drain the pasta (Do NOT rinse your pasta), and toss it in the warm pot with the sauce until spaghetti is coated. Add chicken pieces and gently toss and put in large bowl. Sprinkle with almonds and parsley.

Categories     Main Dish Recipes     Pasta     Spaghetti Recipes     Chicken

Time 1h

Yield 8

Number Of Ingredients 12

1 pound skinless, boneless chicken breasts
½ teaspoon salt
½ teaspoon ground black pepper
1 (16 ounce) package spaghetti
½ cup salted butter
1 medium onion, chopped
1 medium bell pepper, chopped
1 (10 ounce) can diced tomatoes and green chiles (such as RO*TEL®)
1 (10.5 ounce) can condensed cream of chicken soup
1 (10.5 ounce) can condensed cream of mushroom soup
1 (1 pound) package shredded Mexican cheese blend
salt and ground black pepper to taste

Steps:

  • Bring a large pot of water to a boil. Add chicken, 1/2 teaspoon salt, and 1/2 teaspoon pepper. Cover, reduce heat to a gentle boil, and cook until chicken is no longer pink in the center and the juices run clear, 10 to 12 minutes.

Leave broth in the pot.

  • Melt butter in the same pot. Add onion and bell pepper; saute until softened, 5 to 7 minutes. Add diced tomatoes and chiles, condensed chicken soup, condensed mushroom soup, chicken, and spaghetti, one ingredient at a time, gently mixing after each addition.
  • Add Cheddar cheese and stir together, mixing well. Season with salt and pepper to taste. Heat until cheese is thoroughly melted, stirring occasionally to keep from scorching.

Okay, so I wasn't too sure what to name this dish. It was one of those nights where I just saw what was hanging around the kitchen, and made it into something for dinner.
