Description

Crack Chicken Spaghetti is a creamy, cheesy, and smoky pasta dish featuring smoked turkey bacon, plant-based cheese, and a luscious sauce thickened with a natural gelling agent.

Ingredients

Scale

Main Ingredients

  • 8 oz smoked turkey bacon, chopped
  • 12 oz spaghetti pasta
  • 1 cup shredded plant-based cheese
  • 1 tsp natural gelling agent
  • 3 cloves garlic, minced
  • 2 cups cooked and shredded chicken breast
  • 2 tbsp vegetarian Worcestershire sauce (natural)
  • 4 oz plant-based cream cheese
  • 1 cup chicken broth
  • 1 tsp onion powder
  • Salt, to taste
  • Black pepper, to taste

Instructions

  1. Prepare Ingredients: Cook the smoked turkey bacon in a large skillet over medium heat until it is crisp and golden. Remove from the skillet and chop into bite-sized pieces. Cook the spaghetti pasta according to package instructions until al dente. Drain and set aside.
  2. Cook the Chicken: If not already prepared, cook chicken breast and shred it into small pieces. Set aside.
  3. Make the Creamy Sauce: In the same skillet used for bacon, add the minced garlic and sauté briefly until fragrant. Pour in the chicken broth and bring to a simmer. Stir in the plant-based cream cheese and shredded plant-based cheese, allowing them to melt and thicken the sauce. Gradually add the natural gelling agent while stirring to ensure a smooth, thick sauce.
  4. Combine Everything: Add the shredded chicken, smoked turkey bacon pieces, vegetarian Worcestershire sauce (natural), onion powder, salt, and black pepper to the sauce. Stir thoroughly to combine and heat through.
  5. Mix with Pasta: Toss the cooked spaghetti into the sauce mixture, coating every strand well. Cook for an additional 2 to 3 minutes to allow the pasta to absorb the creamy sauce, creating a luxuriously rich dish.

Notes

  • Use freshly cooked chicken for better texture and flavor.
  • Do not overcook the pasta; aim to keep it al dente to hold up in the sauce.
  • Add the natural gelling agent gradually to avoid lumps.
  • Adjust salt and pepper seasoning after combining all ingredients for balanced taste.
  • Let the dish rest briefly before serving to meld the flavors.
