Fideo (Mexican Spaghetti)

It's been too long since I've been able to try out new recipes and finally; I get to and I look forward to cooking more new dishes and sharing with you all. Came across this recipe on the internet and it looked real interesting. Not the regular type of pastas, a common dish amongst Mexicans.

Ingredients:-

• 2 tbsps of vegetable oil
• 4 skinless, boneless chicken breasts halves
• 1 packet (12oz) spaghetti noodles broken into half
• 2 cans of diced tomatoes (you can used those with cajun, celery, etc)
• 1 large onion, chopped
• 1/2 tbsp ground cumin
• 1 tsp of chilli powder (optional and you may add more for a more spicy taste)
• salt & pepper to taste
• 1 1/2 cup chicken stock
• 1 cup of shredded Cheddar cheese (or any of your preference)

1.Heat 1 tablespoon of vegetable oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Cook chicken breasts in the oil until nicely browned on the outside. Remove from the skillet and set aside.


2.Add remaining oil to the skillet, and add the broken spaghetti. Cook, stirring constantly until spaghetti is browned. Drain off any excess oil, and add tomatoes and onion. Dice the chicken breasts, and return them to the skillet. Season with cumin, chili powder, salt and pepper. Pour in chicken stock, cover, and simmer over medium-low heat until pasta is tender, and water has been absorbed, about 10 minutes. Check towards the end, and add more water if necessary.

3.Spoon the chicken mixture into bowls to serve, and garnish with shredded cheese.

Voila!!! An easy recipe and absolutely yummilicious. You can always have it with some garlic bread.

Till my next recipe.
