Roasted Chicken Spaghetti

  • Save

Herb, lemon and garlic roasted chicken and spaghetti tossed in a lemon parmesan pan sauce.

Chicken spaghetti is starting to become one of my new favorite dishes. For me, as generic as it may sound spaghetti is probably my favorite noodle. I think alot of the time we associate the noodles with the dishes. Like alfredo with fettucine or alla vodka with penne or even just spaghetti and meatballs. For me I always associated chicken spaghetti with cheesy chicken casserole so I never really used them for anything else but with the classic meatball. I’m glad I’m starting to branch out because it will definitely add more variety to my quick weeknight dinners. Try this recipe out and let me know what you think.
