  • 1/2 teaspoon kosher salt
  • 1/4 teaspoon black pepper

  • 8 ounces spaghetti pasta

Instructions

    Cup of Yum
  1. Cut the 1/2 pound Chicken breast into small bite-sized pieces and place it into an airtight container. Add in minced 2-3 Garlic cloves, 1 teaspoon Italian seasoning blend, 1/2 teaspoon Kosher salt, 1/4 teaspoon Black pepper, and 1 tbsp of olive oil. (from the 2 tablespoons Olive oil)
  2. Mix thoroughly to combine. Set the lid on and refrigerate for at least 1 hour to marinate.
  3. Heat oil in a large pot over medium-high heat. Add chicken and cook until golden brown.
  4. Next, add in 1/4 cup Sun-dried tomatoes , 1 ounce Anchovies and 1/2 cup Sliced green olives, and cook, stirring frequently for 2-3 minutes.
  5. Stir in 4 Roma tomatoes (chopped), 1/4 teaspoon Red pepper flakes, and 2 1/4 cups Chicken broth. Bring it to a boil, then add in the 8 ounces Spaghetti pasta. Reduce the heat to a low, and simmer until pasta is done. It should take approximately 7-9 minutes, the liquid will reduce and thicken.

  8. Remove from heat, taste, and adjust seasoning according to your taste. Serve immediately and enjoy!
