Fideo (Mexican Spaghetti Dish)
Ingredients Needed
-
2 tablespoons vegetable oil
-
4 skinless, boneless chicken breast halves
-
1 (12 ounce) package spaghetti noodles, broken in half
-
5 roma (plum) tomatoes, chopped
-
1 large onion, chopped
-
½ tablespoon ground cumin
-
2 ½ teaspoons chili powder
-
salt and pepper to taste
-
1 ½ cups water
-
1 cup shredded Cheddar cheese
Instructions
-
Heat 1 tablespoon of vegetable oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Brown the chicken breasts on all sides. Once done, remove them from the pan and set them aside.
-
Add the remaining oil to the skillet, then toss in the broken spaghetti. Stir frequently to brown the noodles evenly. Drain any excess oil, then add the diced tomatoes and onion. Chop the cooked chicken and return it to the pan. Season with cumin, chili powder, salt, and pepper. Add water, cover the skillet, and let it simmer on low heat for about 10 minutes, or until the pasta is tender and the liquid is absorbed. Add more water if needed.
-
Serve the chicken pasta in bowls and top with shredded cheese as a garnish.
