Ingredients
  

  • 1 Lb Chicken Breast
  • 1 Cup Chicken Sotck
  • Olive Olil
  • 3 cloves garlic
  • 16 oz Spaghetti Noodles (I like to use whole wheat)
  • 1/4 Cup Sweet Thai Chili Sauce
  • 1 8 oz box Cream Cheese (I like to use reduce fat)
  • 3 Tbsp Sriracha Sauce (You can add more or less to taste)
  • Black Pepper To taste
  • Salt To taste
  • Paprika To taste
  • Cumin To taste
  • Cilantro For topping

Instructions
 

  • Cut the chicken breasts into cubes. After cutting the chicken breasts into cubes, you will put the cubes in a skillet with olive oil.
  • Cook the chicken cubes on medium-high heat. Season with paprika, cumin, salt, and pepper to taste.
  • While the chicken is cooking, mince 3 close of garlic. You can also use a garlic press.
  • Boil water for the spaghetti. You will need to add a little salt to the pot.
  • Once the chicken is cooked, you will add the minced garlic to the skillet. You will saute the chicken and garlic for about a minute.
  • Add the chicken stock to the skillet. Reduce the heat to medium-low and put a lid on the skillet. The chicken stock will reduce some.
  • While the chicken stock is reducing, the water should begin to boil. Cook the spaghetti noodles until it is al dente (about 8 minutes).
  • Drain the water from the pasta. Put the pasta back into the pot after draining and add the chicken/garlic/chicekn stock from the skillet into the pot.
  • Add the cream cheese and 1/2 cut of sweet Thai chili sauces. Cubing the cream cheese can help it melt faster.
  • Stir the contents of the pot until the cream cheese melts and a sauce is formed. You want to evenly coat the pasta and chicken.
  • Stir in the sriracha sauce to taste. Top the pasta with cilantro.
