Chicken Spaghtetti with Tomato Sauce

For whatever reason, I decided tonight that I wanted spaghetti with chicken in it instead of ground beef. Don't ask me why. Maybe it's because I've been on a chicken kick. Kickin chicken. IDK.

Tonight's latest victims on The Cooking Dead:

Those are really black olives in that pepper jar. Why you have to buy them in a can I'll never know.

I guess I'll give you an ingredients list. This was pretty off the cuff:
  • 1/2 lb of chicken breast 
  • 1/3 lb of whole wheat spaghetti
  • 2/3 of a jar of Ragu chunky
  • 1/4 of a yellow onion
  • 1 clove of garlic
  • A handful of olives (I raided the fridge for anything else I could throw in)
  • Parmesan cheese
  • 1 Tbsp olive oil


Gotta start by getting the frying pan hot with the olive oil and the Ragu chunky simmering.


I chopped up the chicken, onion, garlic, and black olives. I know I look like I'm being sanitary but let's be serious. Everything's about to get cooked in the skillet.


Saute the garlic for a minute or so. Add the onions and let them get translucent, probably 3 or 4 minutos. Pause The Walking Dead because you want to make sure you see the last episode in full before the mid-season premier.


Resume cooking. Throw in the chicken and let it brown.


Oh yeah, if you happened to have a pot of water boiling, now would be the time to throw in the whole wheat spaghetti. Sorry, I forgot to give you a picture and remind you to have boiling water ready. My bad. Next comes the sauce modification...


We're about to make this Ragu Chunky into Ragu Obese. Now let that simmer a few minutes while the spaghetti is cooking.


You know what, tomorrow is a holiday and I don't have to work. Why not.


Well $hit. I forgot to set the timer on the spaghetti. Guess that's what I get for not including that reminder. Gonna have to taste test on one minute intervals until we are AL-DENT-AY...

And I mean "AYYY" like the Fonz.


Commence plate preparation:
