Spaghettini Chicken
SUBMITTED BY:
BZEEFMOM
"This is a copy-cat recipe I created from a restaurant in the Bay Area. It's a soupy sauce, not a thick one. It's a nice change."

Very interesting, light Italian flavor. It's so quick and easy, too, especially if you cook the chicken the night before. My only problem is it's a bit of a trick to eat; you need a fork for the pasta and a spoon for the sauce. My 2-year-old (who loved it, by the way) ate all her noodles and then dipped her breadsticks in the sauce to soak it up. :) In the future, I think I will cook the pasta right in the sauce to save a step and a clean pan. I may also add a can of tomato paste to make it slightly thicker.

Tasty and different. I did make some alterations to this recipe. I threw the onion and garlic in olive oil with chicken breast strips and cooked until the chicken was cooked. Then I added only two cups of chicken broth with diced tomatoes, drained, and added Italian spice blend and garlic spice blend. I cooked this down a bit before adding about six ounces of spinach. After the spinach wilted, I added a small amount of corn starch and water to thicken it just a touch. I served it with an herbed brown rice pilaf and sprinkled feta on top. It was fantastic and so far from ordinary. It looked beautiful too. I might serve this the next time I have company. Thanks for the recipe.

Very tasty. I added a little bit of cornstarch and broth mixture to the broth in my skillet. It helped to thicken it up a bit. That would be the only thing I would do in the future.

What a great recipe to use up what's already in the cupboard. I used chicken thighs instead, and reduced the sauce a great deal before adding the pasta. Light, healthy, and perfect for summer.

Our whole family, even picky preschoolers, enjoyed this dish. I substituted fresh tomatoes and basil, and used less broth. Also at the end per previous reviews I added twice the spinach (next time will use even more), and threw on top a few sliced black olives and some Parmasan cheese for good measure. Husband's only negative comment: "Needs more garlic." Thanks for a great family recipe!

Nice fresh flavors. I had some tomato paste in the refrigerator and added two tablespoons. That, plus about 30 minutes simmering, gave a little more body to the sauce. Great for left-over chicken.

mmm, nice flavour! we had it with rotini noodles and served in a a bowl, taking advice from previous reviewers. Easy to make and I also cooked the noodles in the broth. I let it simmer for quite a while so there wasnt too much liquid, and it was GREAT as leftovers. I also added a LOT of spinach....yum!

This is wonderful! I recommend using a smaller pasta such as macaroni/ cavetelli/bowties/ etc. Because this recipe is more of a soup, this helps so that you don't have to use both a spoon and a fork. This is a great recipe!

Great recipe! I cooked penne pasta right in the same pot (added it with the broth) and it worked great. I also used a ton more spinach. I'm thinking you could probably cook the chicken in there too. This tasted very much like my favorite dish from a local Italian restaurant except they also add pine nuts - might try that next time.

This is a light and delicious meal. The first time I made it, I doubled the spinach and still didn't think it was enough. The next time I used 5 times the spinach and liked that a lot better.
