I came across this recipe on the Picky Palate blog and immediately thought it looked super yummy. I tweaked it a bit by using store bought BBQ sauce and cooking the chicken breasts in the slow-cooker. Now we are the queens of time-saving, delicious meals...and this one is truly both of those things.
Ingredients:
6 chicken breasts
2 cups of BBQ sauce (Just use you family's favorite. I used Head Country BBQ sauce.)
1 lb thin spaghetti noodles
4 Tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
1/2 large red onion, peeled and finely chopped
2 Tablespoons dry Ranch Dressing Mix
1/2 Cup chopped fresh cilantro leaves (it orginially called for 3/4 a cup but I'm a baby when it comes to cilantro)
Directions:
-Place chicken breasts in slow-cooker with BBQ sauce and cook for ~3 hours or until fork tender.
-Cook spaghetti noodles according to package directions; drain and rinse with cold water to stop cooking. -Place olive oil into a large pot over medium heat.
-Saute red onions until softened and golden. Add cooked spaghetti to onions; mix and add dry Ranch Dressing seasoning and cilantro leaves. Season with a pinch of salt and pepper to taste. Place noodles onto serving plates and top with warm shredded BBQ chicken. Garnish with cilantro leaf and serve.
