Ingredients
  

  • 1 sachet (24g) brown sauce mix or make your own!
  • 2 small boneless, skinless chicken breasts
  • to taste Salt and pepper
  • 3 tablespoons flour
  • 1-2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 1 tablespoon salted butter
  • 1 small yellow onion, sliced
  • 3 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 cup chicken broth or white wine if preferred
  • 225 g tomato sauce
  • 340 g thin spaghetti adjust as needed for saucier results
  • 0.5 teaspoon Italian seasoning
  • 0.5 teaspoon parsley
  • 0.5 teaspoon powdered mustard
  • 0.25 teaspoon salt

Equipment

  • Large skillet
  • Sharp knife
  • Cutting board
  • Measuring cups
  • Spatula
  • Colander
  • Pot for boiling pasta

Method
 

  1. In a large measuring cup, whisk the brown sauce mix with cold water until smooth. Add the tomato sauce and seasonings, stirring well to combine. Set aside.
  2. Cut the chicken breasts into equal-sized cubes. Season generously with salt and pepper, then toss in flour to coat evenly.
  3. Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the chicken pieces and cook for 3-4 minutes per side until golden brown and cooked through. Remove and set aside.
  4. Turn off the heat and pour in ¼ cup of chicken broth. Return the pan to medium heat and scrape up any browned bits from the bottom.
  5. Add the butter and sliced onions to the pan. Cook over medium heat, stirring often, until the onions are soft and caramelized—about 20 minutes. Stir in the garlic and cook for another minute.
  6. Pour in the remaining broth and let it simmer gently for 5 minutes to reduce slightly. Add the reserved sauce mixture into the pan, bring it to a boil and thicken for about 30 seconds. Then lower the heat and return the chicken to the pan.
  7. While the sauce reduces, boil water for the pasta. Once boiling, add salt and cook the spaghetti al dente. Drain and toss with the sauce and chicken. Garnish with fresh parsley and serve with garlic bread.

Notes

If you’re missing an ingredient, you can swap chicken breasts for thighs for juicier meat. Crushed tomatoes can be used instead of tomato sauce. For a gluten-free version, use cornstarch instead of flour and gluten-free pasta.
Be sure to taste the sauce before serving to adjust seasoning to your liking. This dish is great for reheating, but store the pasta and sauce separately to maintain texture. Enjoy this recipe with a sprinkle of freshly grated Parmesan cheese for extra flavor!
