I created this ground chicken spaghetti recipe on the fly because I didn’t have my usual ingredients for a sauce. I was so happy with how it tasted that I decided to make this my first recipe submission. This makes a very light sauce. If you prefer a heartier sauce, add 1/2 can of tomato paste or even use crushed tomatoes instead of whole, but I encourage you to try it as written; it’s so yummy! Serve over al dente spaghetti noodles. I hope you enjoy!
Ingredients
- 1 tablespoon extra-virgin olive oil
- 1 pound ground chicken
- 1 small onion, diced
- 1 clove garlic, crushed
- 2 teaspoons dried basil
- 1 pinch kosher salt to taste
- 1 pinch ground black pepper to taste
- 1 (14 ounce) can whole peeled tomatoes
- ¼ cup grated Parmesan cheese
Directions
Step 1
Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Cook and stir chicken and onion together in hot oil until chicken has completely browned and onions tender, 7 to 10 minutes. Stir garlic, basil, kosher salt, and black pepper into chicken mixture; cook for 1 minute.
Step 2
Blend tomatoes in a blender until smooth; pour over chicken mixture and bring to a simmer. Cook mixture at a simmer until hot and sauce has thickened slightly, about 10 minutes.
Step 3
Sprinkle Parmesan cheese over mixture; stir.
