Chicken

Method

Prepare the Chicken

  1. 1

    Marinate the Chicken

    In a bowl, combine olive oil, salt, black pepper, and garlic powder. Add the chicken breasts and coat well. Allow marinating for at least 30 minutes.

  2. 2

    Grill the Chicken

    Preheat the grill to medium-high heat. Grill the marinated chicken for about 6-7 minutes on each side, or until thoroughly cooked and internal temperature reaches 165°F (75°C).

  3. 3

    Add Cheese

    During the last 2 minutes of grilling, sprinkle Parmesan cheese on top of the chicken, followed by mozzarella cheese. Close the grill lid to melt the cheese.

Prepare the Spaghetti

  1. 4

    Cook the Pasta

    Bring a large pot of water to a boil. Add 1 tablespoon of salt and spaghetti pasta. Cook according to package instructions until al dente, usually 8-10 minutes.

  2. 5

    Drain the Pasta

    Once cooked, drain the spaghetti in a colander and set aside.

Make the Spaghetti Sauce

  1. 6

    Sauté Garlic

    In a saucepan, heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil over medium heat. Add minced garlic and sauté for about 1 minute until fragrant.

  2. 7

    Prepare Sauce

    Add the canned crushed tomatoes, oregano, basil, salt, black pepper, and sugar to the saucepan. Stir to combine and let simmer for about 15-20 minutes, allowing the flavors to meld.

Assemble the Dish

  1. 8

    Combine Ingredients

    On a plate, place a serving of spaghetti, ladle the sauce over the top, and then place the grilled chicken on top of the spaghetti. Add more cheese if desired.

  2. 9

    Serve

    Garnish with additional Parmesan or fresh basil if desired and serve immediately.
