Spaghetti Gratin With Chicken

While I was thinking about Tabkhet el Yom ( what to cook for lunch today), I checked my fridge and I found boiled chicken and chicken stock. And checked the pantry and found spaghetti. And, always there is cooking cheese and tomato in my fridge. Because, I like from time to time try something new, I decided to cook them together in Lasagna way, but by using the cooked chicken instead of minced beef. And the result was really amazing. The recipe turned out Delicious.

Ingredients:

• 1 packet of 500 grams spaghetti
• 1 tablespoon salt, 1 tablespoon corn oil ( to be added to the water for boiling spahetti)
• about 2 cups of shredded boiled chicken, skin and bones removed
• 1 medium onion, finely chopped
• 2 red tomatoes, finely diced
• 1 teaspoon salt
• 1 tablespoon ketchup
• 1 teaspoon thyme
• 1 tablespoon mixed herbs
• 1 tablespoon canola oil
• 1 liter chicken stock
• 3 tablespoons flour
• 1/2 cup powder milk
• 1 cup and a half shredded cheese ( I mixed parmesan and gruyere)

Preparation:

• In a large pot, boil water, add the tablespoon of salt with the tablespoon of oil, boil the spaghetti for 2 minutes less than instructed, drain the spaghetti and wash is with cold water
• I another pot, heat the oil, fry the onions until light golden, then add the chopped tomatoes, and cook with lid on for about 10 minutes
• Add the shredded chicken to the tomatoes and onions, season with salt, thyme and mixed herbs and the ketchup, cook for another 10 minutes
• Preheat the oven to 200 C
• In another pot, boil the chicken stock with the milk powder
• Dissolve the flour with 1/2 cup of water and add it to the stock, let it boil stirring constantly, reduce the fire and let it cook until it starts thickening, then remove from fire
• In a tray, place 2 tablespoons from the chicken stock sauce, one layer of spaghetti, half the chicken sauce and cover it with half of the white sauce
• Repeat the same procedure another time, then top with the shredded cheese and bake for about 30 minutes, until the top becomes golden color

• Serve it with salad

ET VOILA..C’EST TOUT. BON APPETIT 🙂
