One Pot Chicken Veggie Spaghetti

Tracking Pixel
Dinner is ready in a flash with this one pot chicken veggie spaghetti #NewComfortFood AD | Mama Harris' KitchenOne meal in my house that I make more than any other meal is spaghetti. It’s a universal favorite; my kids love it because it’s tasty and fun and my husband loves it because he’s a creature of comfort. I love it because I know that my family will devour it and ask for more, and it’s easy to make! However, instead of preparing the good ol’ classic spaghetti I’ve decided to switch things up a bit with this classic comfort food. While I do love tradition, sometimes I prefer to make some changes and create a more modern spin on a traditional recipe. Making the spaghetti with chicken or even foregoing the red sauce completely for one of my own creation. Not to worry, there’s still tomatoes and plenty of flavor! For this sponsored post I’ll be using the Foster Farms Simply Raised thin-sliced boneless skinless chicken breast fillets for my one pot chicken veggie spaghetti recipe.

This recipe has plenty of fresh ingredients, tons of flavor, and even a little surprising kick of spice. The chicken is seasoned with a few of my favorite spices, or what I like to call my secret arsenal. Lemon pepper, smoked paprika, garlic + salt with some dried herbs. This is a flavor profile I truly love, and this is the comforting and familiar taste that my family loves. Due to the fresh ingredients and lemon flavors this would be a great summer meal, but it’s hearty and comforting enough for the colder months as well. Since this is a modern spin on a comfort food classic, I chose to use vegetable spaghetti for this dish and mozzarella cheese as a garnish since it’s naturally lower in fat than other cheese varieties.

The chicken is the star of the show here. It’s on prominent display in this dish and I chose to use Foster Farms Simply Raised Thin-Sliced Boneless Skinless Chicken Breast Fillets. Foster Farms Simply Raised is locally grown on the West Coast with no antibiotics ever and 100 percent vegetarian fed. It’s the perfect foundation for your New Comfort Food meals. In fact, Foster Farms recently commissioned a national consumer survey to learn more about what people are looking for in their New Comfort Food dishes. What they found is that Americans’ idea of comfort food is moving away from rich and heavy, traditional comfort foods, and toward recipes that are both easier and healthier to make and that include locally farmed, fresh ingredients. What’s even more interesting is that 80% of Americans are turning to chicken as a staple for their comfort food meals and are prioritizing chicken raised with no antibiotics, hormones or steroids. Also, 68% of those surveyed are a lot more concerned than their mother was about what goes into the food they are feeding their families; millennial parents even more so (75%). More than 80% even said that they choose healthier recipes plus more fruits and veggies in their comfort food meals.

Dinner is ready in a flash with this one pot chicken veggie spaghetti #NewComfortFood AD | Mama Harris' KitchenDoes this mean that traditional comfort foods are a thing of the past? Not necessarily, but there is a change in the ingredients people are choosing. Many, like me, love to incorporate colorful and fresh ingredients into classic meals. The New Comfort Food has evolved from the traditionally heavy and rich foods to feel-good meals that feature local, fresh and premium quality ingredients, produced with no antibiotics ever. The New Comfort Food is no longer an indulgence, but an everyday occasion – it’s a more healthful way of eating.

    Don’t you just love a one-pot meal? I’ve never done my spaghetti like this before though — does it release much starch into the finished dish?

(AD) There has been a lot of cooking going on this year, so I’ve tried to make life a bit easier by getting creative with my leftovers. These pulled pork totchos are a great example of leftovers with a few key ingredients to create something new to keep our meals exciting. Adding a few key ingredients like @lamorenausa adobo peppers and jalapeños and carrots definitely livens up something simple. La Morena peppers are hand selected, using only the highest quality peppers to bring you authentic home style flavors of Mexico. I purchased my La Morena items from my local Safeway, but you can find them at your favorite grocery store in the international food section. #PayItForwardwithLM #VivaLaMorena #WeCanWithLaMorena 
 
INGREDIENTS:
- 32 oz tater tots
- 2 cups shredded cheese (Mexican blend + Pepper Jack)
- 2 cups prepared bbq pulled pork (check my pulled pork sliders recipe!)
- 1/2 can La Morena Adobo Peppers & Sauce
- 2 tablespoons sour cream 
- 2 tablespoons ranch dressing
- 1 cup pico de Gallo
- 1/2 cup guacamole
- 3 chopped green onions 
- 3-4 La Morena jalapeños and carrots, sliced

INSTRUCTIONS:
Prepare tater tots as instructed, in air fryer or oven. Heat oven to 450°. 
Cover the bottom of a large cast iron skillet with the cooked tater tots. 
Top with 1 1/2 cup of cheese. 
Combine the chopped adobo peppers and sauce with the prepared bbq pulled pork. Spread the pulled pork mixture on top of the tater tots, then top with the remaining cheese.
Bake in the preheated oven for 5 minutes.
Top with sour cream, ranch, pico de Gallo, guacamole, green onions, and sliced jalapeños and carrots.

Enjoy!! 😋

This year I’ve created Cranberry Pistachio Citrus Cookies to share as my contribution. 🍪 I know that a lot of things have turned “virtual” throughout this year, but a little virtual bake-off is a fun way to connect with some of your favorite people!

Hello Instagram fam! 💖 There’s some new faces around here and it’s been a while since I showed mine!

I’m Dawn, creator of Mama Harris’ Kitchen, and I’m so glad you’re here with me! In this space I share my family-friendly recipes for all occasions, whether it be a 30-minute meal for those busy weeknight dinners or a full spread for entertaining a crowd - and everything in between.

Mama Harris’ Kitchen began back in 2012, in fact it’s 8 years this month! 🥳  What started as a way to document my newfound cooking hobby while managing my “new” life as a stay-at-home wife and mom to a 1 and 3 year along with teens and preteens, and it quickly grew into what it is now - a recipe resource for busy families like mine that enjoy flavorful and comforting home-cooking using pantry staples along with fresh and local ingredients as often as possible. 

🍿Five fun facts about me:
1. I LOVE elephants! 🐘 I collect a lot of elephant items, whether it’s trinkets or  artwork, notepads etc. I love what elephants symbolize and I truly love anything elephant related.
2. I’m a total plant lady! 🌱 I have about 35 houseplants, give or take, and there’s still more on the list of wants. Plants have become such a peaceful outlet for me, and I feel that they really center me within my space. I love the element plants bring to your space and the feel of your home with them in it, and new leaves are so exciting!
3. I have seven tattoos and I have plans for about eight more. 💉 Those that know me aren’t surprised, but those that follow me here tend to find it a bit surprising. 🙃
4. I’ve been a mother for a long time, over half my life! I’ve also been a lot of different “types” of mom - teen mom, single mom, working mom, stepmom, stay at home mom, PROUD mom, military mom, mother in law - the list goes on. No matter what, motherhood looks different for everyone and there’s unique challenges and experiences each mother faces. Please be gentle with yourself! ❤️At the end of the day we’re all just trying our best!
5. I’m a bit of an introvert, and often struggle with the “social” aspect of social media. I tend to go silent sometimes, but I’m working on it.

☀️Thank you for joining me here!
