Requires preparing ahead of time, but very simple and well worth it! If you are a garlic fan, use 6-8 cloves of garlic for an extra kick!

Time 8h40m

Yield 4

Number Of Ingredients 10

1 teaspoon sesame oil
½ cup soy sauce
4 cloves garlic, chopped
6 tablespoons honey
¼ teaspoon minced fresh ginger root
4 large skinless, boneless chicken breast halves - cut into 1 inch strips
1 (16 ounce) package spaghetti
2 tablespoons butter, divided
1 pinch salt and black pepper to taste
1 onion, sliced

Steps:

  • Whisk together the sesame oil, soy sauce, garlic, honey, and ginger in a large glass or ceramic bowl. Add the chicken breast and toss to evenly coat. Cover the bowl with plastic wrap, and marinate in the refrigerator for 8 hours.
  • Fill a large pot with lightly salted water and bring to a rolling boil over high heat. Once the water is boiling, stir in the spaghetti, and return to a boil. Cook the pasta uncovered, stirring occasionally, until the pasta has cooked through, but is still firm to the bite, about 12 minutes. Drain well in a colander set in the sink. Stir in 1 tablespoon of butter and season with salt and pepper.
  • Heat the remaining 1 tablespoon of butter in a skillet over medium heat. Stir in the onion; cook and stir until the onion has softened and turned translucent, about 5 minutes. Remove the chicken from the marinade, and shake off excess, then add to the skillet. Discard the remaining marinade. Cook the chicken breast strips until no longer pink in the center, about 10 minutes. Serve chicken over spaghetti.

This recipe was a bit too complicated for me. I think I'll try a simpler recipe next time.

The chicken was a bit dry. I think I should have cooked it for a shorter amount of time.

This dish was a bit too sweet for my taste. Next time, I will use less sugar in the garlic sauce.

This recipe is a keeper! The chicken was fall-off-the-bone tender and the garlic sauce was amazing. I used brown rice instead of white rice and it was still delicious. I will definitely be making this again.

I'm not a huge fan of garlic, but I really enjoyed this dish. The chicken was tender and juicy, and the garlic sauce was not overpowering. I served it with steamed broccoli and it was a delicious and healthy meal.

The chicken was a bit bland. I think it could have used more seasoning.
