Ingredients
  

For the main dish
  • 1 piece pechuga de pollo (chicken breast) Cut into bite-sized pieces
  • 200 g espagueti (spaghetti) Cook according to package instructions
  • to taste Chile jalapeño Sliced
  • 2 zanahorias (carrots) Sliced
  • to taste Salsa de soya (soy sauce) Drizzle over vegetables and chicken
  • 1 brócoli (broccoli) Cut into florets and cooked for 10 minutes
  • 1/2 piece cebolla (onion) Diced
  • 1 stalk vara de apio (celery) Diced

Method
 

Preparation
  1. Start by cutting the chicken breast into bite-sized pieces. Marinate the chicken in salt, garlic, and soy sauce for about an hour to enhance the flavor.
Cooking
  1. Cook the spaghetti in boiling water according to the package instructions. Once done, reserve it by draining and setting it aside.
  2. Prepare the broccoli by cooking it in boiling water for just 10 minutes to ensure it remains crisp and vibrant.
  3. In a skillet, heat a bit of oil over medium heat and sauté the diced onion and celery until they become translucent.
  4. Add in the sliced carrots, jalapeño, and the previously cooked broccoli. Drizzle a bit of soy sauce over the vegetables and let everything cook on low heat with the lid on for a few minutes.
  5. In a separate skillet, cook the marinated chicken with minimal oil until fully cooked through. Once done, combine the chicken with the sautéed vegetable medley and turn off the heat.
  6. Finally, fold in the cooked spaghetti and add more soy sauce if desired. For an extra touch, feel free to throw in shrimp for a protein-packed variation.

Notes

Don’t overcook the vegetables. You want them to retain some crunch; too much cooking can lead to a mushy texture. Marinate the chicken longer if you can for enhanced flavor. Experiment with protein by swapping chicken for tofu or shrimp.
