Ingredients

Scale

Protein

  • 1 lb chicken breast, diced into bite-sized pieces
  • 4 slices smoked turkey bacon, chopped into small strips

Pasta

  • 12 oz spaghetti pasta

Sauce & Flavorings

  • 1 cup plant-based cheese, shredded or cubed
  • 2 tablespoons vegetarian Worcestershire sauce (natural)
  • 1 teaspoon apple cider vinegar (natural)
  • 1 teaspoon natural gelling agent
  • 2 garlic cloves, minced
  • 1 small onion, finely chopped
  • Salt, to taste
  • Freshly ground black pepper, to taste

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Ingredients: Cook the spaghetti in salted boiling water until al dente. Drain and set aside. Dice the chicken breast into bite-sized pieces, chop the smoked turkey bacon into small strips, and finely mince the garlic and onion.
  2. Cook the Chicken and Bacon: In a large skillet over medium heat, crisp the smoked turkey bacon until golden brown, then remove it to a paper towel-lined plate. Using the same skillet, sauté the chicken pieces with garlic and onion until the chicken turns opaque and starts to brown.
  3. Create the Creamy Sauce: Stir in the plant-based cheese and vegetarian Worcestershire sauce (natural), followed by apple cider vinegar (natural). Gradually sprinkle in the natural gelling agent while stirring continuously to thicken the sauce evenly.
  4. Combine and Simmer: Add the cooked spaghetti and crispy turkey bacon back to the skillet. Toss everything together to coat the pasta thoroughly in the sauce. Let it simmer gently for a few minutes to meld all the flavors.
  5. Season and Serve: Season with salt and freshly ground black pepper to taste. Plate the dish and garnish as desired to enjoy the creamy Crack Chicken Spaghetti.

Notes

  • Use warm pasta water to loosen the sauce if needed for a silky finish.
  • Do not overcook the chicken; cook until it turns white and no longer pink inside.
  • Choose quality plant-based cheese for optimal creaminess.
  • Toast the turkey bacon well for a crispy texture.
  • Add apple cider vinegar (natural) gradually to balance acidity without overpowering the sauce.
