Instructions

  • Prepare the Salad: In a bowl, place spring mix. Top with cucumber, halved grape tomatoes, and shaved carrots.
  • In a small bowl, whisk together extra-virgin olive oil, apple cider vinegar, Dijon mustard, and dried oregano to create the vinaigrette. Upon serving, drizzle the vinaigrette over the salad and toss gently to combine.
  • Cook the Spaghetti: Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil over high heat. Add spaghetti and cook according to the package directions until al dente. Drain the pasta and set aside.
  • Prepare the Chicken and Red Sauce: In a large skillet, heat extra-virgin olive oil over medium heat. Add the diced chicken and sauté until nicely golden on all sides.
  • Add diced onion and cook, stirring occasionally, until softened (about 3 minutes).
  • Stir in minced garlic cloves, red pepper flakes, salt, and black pepper; cook for 1 minute until fragrant.
  • Pour in marinara sauce and bring to a simmer, stirring occasionally until the sauce is hot.
  • Toss the cooked spaghetti into the sauce and mix well. Sprinkle grated Parmesan cheese over the pasta.
  • Prepare the Garlic Bread: Toast slices of crusty bread until golden. Spread 1 TBSP butter on each slice and evenly distribute minced garlic cloves over the top.
  • Make the Lemon Spritzer: add the lemon slices to the sparkling water.
  • Serve the chicken spaghetti alongside garlic bread, house salad and glass of lemon spritzer. Enjoy!
