This recipe is one of my favorites recently as it is very easy to cook. Variants of Aglio Olio mostly include the addition of bacon. But I prefer the breast part of chicken as it has less fat and has more protein. I deboned and cooked it with salt, then shredded it into small pieces using my hands.
Aglio Olio (Ah-lyoh Aw-lyoh) is a traditional Italian recipe meaning “garlic and oil”. It is made by sparsely sautéing garlic in olive oil and tossing it with spaghetti. Red chili flakes, pepper, cheese, and parsley can be added for extra flavor.
