Instructions

1. Heat the air fryer or oven according to the Realgood chicken package directions.
2. Arrange the four chicken fillets in a single layer and begin cooking them according to the package directions.
3. Place the dry spaghetti in a wide, deep skillet and pour in 2 cups chicken bone broth. Add the garlic, onion powder, Italian seasoning, salt, and pepper.
4. Bring the broth to a gentle boil, then reduce to a simmer. Cook uncovered for 9 to 11 minutes, stirring frequently so the spaghetti does not stick. If the liquid absorbs before the pasta is tender, add more bone broth 2 tablespoons at a time.
5. Warm the tomato-basil sauce separately over medium-low heat.
6. Two minutes before the chicken is finished, pull out the air-fryer basket or baking sheet. Sprinkle each fillet with 2 tablespoons mozzarella and 1/2 tablespoon Parmesan.
7. Return the chicken for the final 2 minutes, until the cheese is melted and the chicken reaches 165°F.
8. Divide the cooked spaghetti into four 3.75-ounce portions. Spoon 1/2 cup warm tomato-basil sauce over each portion, then place one crispy cheese-topped chicken fillet on top. Serve immediately.

40/400 Notes

• Keep the tomato-basil sauce on the spaghetti rather than the chicken so the breading stays crisp.
• Use a food scale after cooking to portion 3.75 ounces of spaghetti per serving.
• Use Simple Truth chicken bone broth and Organic No Sugar Added Tomato Basil Pasta Sauce for the listed nutrition.
• Nutrition varies with the exact product labels and the amount of bone broth absorbed.
