Weekends
are a complete mess these days, Saturday goes mostly in shopping and Sunday
goes in preparing for the next week. As the temperature shoots up to a searing
40 degrees, we are living off fruits, coolers, iced tea, cold coffee, squashes,
crushes, ice-creams and when it comes to
eating a meal, it is mostly a lentil soup, some rice accompanied with a slice
of a fried fish. After two days of staying indoors and eating these plain-Jane meals,
it was time for us to indulge into something nice and light, not full of rich
spices but something simple. I had a Chicken Breast sitting in the freezer (I usually get a few Chicken Breasts and
boil them with a pinch of salt to 5 whistles, shred them and store them, so
that I can throw them in into any dish that I am making, they come in very
handy when I am making noodles, pasta, fried rice or sometimes even use them
for sandwich filling) and had some Spaghetti Pasta too so decided to make
this incredible Creamy-Cheesy-Chicken- Spaghetti.
This tasted so wonderful that I had to post the recipe. It needs only a few
ingredients and can be on your week night menu, always :)
Here is what you will need to make
this Creamy-Cheesy-Chicken- Spaghetti:
Serves – 2
·
Chicken Breast – 1 – shredded (I used my hands to
shred it)
·
Spaghetti – 200 gms
·
Garlic – 4 cloves - grated
·
Onion – 1 medium – finely chopped
·
Green Bell Pepper – 1 small – finely chopped
·
Fresh Cream – 200 gms (I used 1 tetra pack)
·
Tomato Chili Sauce – 1 tbsp
·
EVOO – 2 tbsps
·
Cheese – 1 Cube – grated, I used 1 cube
from a Mother Dairy pack
·
Salt to taste
·
Pepper to taste
How to make Creamy-Cheesy-Chicken- Spaghetti:
·
Cook
the Spaghetti as per instructions on the pack to al-dente and set aside.
·
Heat
the EVOO; add the grated Garlic and sauté.

the Onion and Green Bell Pepper and sauté for a minute or two.

Add
the Tomato Chili Sauce for a little bit of tang (optional).
