How To Make chicken spaghetti with a twist
-
Step 1In a small saucepan, heat the milk over a low flame to bring it to room temperature.
-
Step 2Add some oil to a preheated skillet. Add your 1 inch cubed chicken pieces and cook through until no longer pink & slightly browned.
-
Step 3While your chicken is cooking, you can start your sauce. Melt your butter over a medium high heat in a separate skillet. Once melted, add in your olive oil. Let that cook for about a minute.
-
Step 4Add in your flour - just a little at a time and whisk until you have a smooth paste.
-
Step 5Next, slowly add in your milk. Continue to whisk and allow sauce to thicken.
-
Step 6Then add in your cheese a little bit at a time. It will start to become creamy. And then add in your seasoning.
-
Step 7Once your sauce is finished, add your spaghetti and chicken into the skillet and mix well. Top with additional cheese if desired!
