- Instructions:
- 1. Cook the Pasta: Bring a large pot of salted water to boil. Add spaghetti and cook until al dente according to package instructions. Drain and set aside.
- 2. Prepare the Chicken: Heat a drizzle of olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Season chicken breasts with salt and pepper; cook for approximately 6 minutes per side until golden brown and cooked through. Remove from heat and let rest before chopping into bite-sized pieces.
