Chicken Spaghetti
I have to admit. Growing up I was NOT a fan of Chicken Spaghetti. In my mind the two ingredients should never mix. I was so SO wrong.
Chicken spaghetti is a dish that should never go unnoticed. Its hearty, full of flavor and makes a ton! I love to jazz it up by adding a bunch of fresh yummy vegetables and some creole seasoning.
Eat it right away or FREEZE it. I love a good freezer meal!
