- Makes 4 servings.
1 split, skinless chicken breast with ribs (2 halves)
4 skinless chicken thighs
1 tsp. extra virgin olive oil
1 medium onion, chopped
1 garlic clove, minced
1/4 lb. crimini or white mushrooms, thickly sliced
1 can (28 oz.) diced tomatoes
1 tsp. dried oregano
1/2 tsp. dried basil
Pinch of red pepper flakes (optional)
Salt and freshly ground black pepper, to taste
1/2 lb. spaghetti or linguini
1/4 cup freshly grated Parmigiano-Reggiano
(Parmesan) cheese (1 oz.)
Coat a large, non-stick skillet with cooking spray. Set pan over medium-high heat. Brown chicken lightly, about 8 minutes, turning pieces occasionally, so it colors on all sides. Transfer chicken to a plate.
Heat oil in the pan. Sauté onions and garlic until translucent, about 4 minutes. Add mushrooms. Sauté until they release liquid, about 4 minutes. Add tomatoes with their liquid, oregano, basil, and pepper flakes, if using. Season with salt and pepper. Return chicken to skillet. Simmer until chicken is white at the bone, about 40 minutes, turning it after 25 minutes.
Transfer chicken pieces to plate. When they are cool enough to handle, pull all the meat from the bones. There will be about 8 ounces of white meat and 6 of dark meat. Set aside the dark meat for Chicken Spaghetti. Cover the rest, and refrigerate, to use another time.
Cook pasta according to package directions. Divide it among 4 bowls. If necessary, reheat sauce in the skillet. When hot, add reserved shredded chicken. Spoon sauce over pasta. Sprinkle with cheese and serve.
