Chicken Spaghetti Recipe

Spaghetti has always been my favorite since I was a kid. In fact this is the only dish that I order when we were dining out – with the exception of fried chicken, of course. Back then, I was accustomed to the taste of Filipino Spaghetti, but I developed liking other versions as I grew up.At this point, spaghetti has been a common dish for me. The excitement might not be there anymore when I see it served in the dining table. In order for me to get excited once more for spaghetti, I thought of moving away from what is common by modifying the ingredients and adding the right amount of spice to get that extra kick. Thus, this Chicken Spaghetti Recipe was born.

This dish is simple, but not ordinary. I liked the collaboration of flavors, especially the kick from the chipotle pepper. By the way, chipotle pepper in adobo sauce can be purchased in Mexican groceries. These are usually packaged in 2 to 4 ounces cans. If this is not available, try adding hot sauce like Sriracha. This is also one way of making spaghetti with meat sauce.
