Instructions
Dice the chicken breast into cubes and transfer into a large mixing bowl. Add 3/4 teaspoon of soda and toss well. Let marinate and tenderize for approximately 20 minutes, rinse well and pat dry with paper towels.
While the meat is tenderizing, cook the spaghetti in lightly salted (1tsp) boiling water. Follow instructions on the packaging to cook the spaghetti. Once cooked, drain in a colander and rinse with hot water to keep the spaghetti from cooling. Add one tablespoon of butter to the spaghetti and mix in to melt. Drizzle one tablespoon of the sweet soy sauce and stir well.
In a separate small mixing bowl, combine the paprika, salt, ground black pepper, garlic powder, onion powder, and the optional dried parsley. Mix the seasoning well and add to the diced chicken once it’s been rinsed and patted dry. Using your hands, mix the seasoning with the diced chicken.
Heat one tablespoon of neutral-tasting oil (such as vegetable oil or canola oil) in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Transfer the seasoned chicken and fry for approximately 10 minutes.
Add the frozen corn and two tablespoons of soy sauce, stir and continue cooking until the chicken has cooked through and browned, approximately 5-10 more minutes. The internal temperature of the chicken should be 165 degrees Fahrenheit. Taste the chicken and add more salt if necessary.
Plating: Twirl spaghetti around a fork and transfer on a plate, making a circle with an empty space in the middle. Transfer chicken pieces into the middle of the nest. Garnish with chopped parsley or cilantro and drizzle with a little sweet soy sauce (optional).
Notes
Reheating:If you have any leftovers, you can reheat them in the microwave or on the stovetop. Add a little bit of water – about two tablespoons, depending on how much leftovers you have. If you are using the stove, cook covered under low temperature. The water will create steam to make sure the chicken does not dry out.
