This isn't your mother's chicken spaghetti! It has an Italian flavor with a hint of tequila sauce. This is an easy recipe that keeps well. Store it in sealable bags or freeze it for later. Kids love it.

Ingredients
  • 12 ounces spaghetti
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 4 skinless, boneless chicken breast halves - diced
  • ¼ cup Italian seasoning
  • 2 teaspoons bottled minced garlic
  • 1 (15.5 ounce) can diced tomatoes
  • ½ cup tequila
  • salt and ground black pepper to taste
Directions
  1. 1. Bring a large pot of lightly-salted water to a boil; add the pasta and cook until al dente, 8 to 10 minutes; drain. Place spaghetti in a large bowl.
  2. 2. Heat the olive oil in a skillet over medium heat. Cook and stir the chicken in the hot oil until browned; stir in the Italian seasoning and garlic and cook until the chicken is cooked through, about 5 minutes. Add the tomatoes and tequila; simmer another 5 minutes. Season with salt and pepper. Pour into the bowl with the spaghetti and stir to combine; serve immediately.
