Ingredients

Pasta and Protein

  • 8 oz gluten-free spaghetti (I use Jovial brown rice spaghetti)
  • 1 lb chicken breast, cubed
  • Salt, to taste
  • Pepper, to taste

Vegetables and Garnish

  • 1 cup mixed vegetables (shredded carrots and peas)
  • 2 tbsp green onion, chopped

Sauce and Liquids

  • 2 cups chicken broth
  • 1 cup coconut aminos
  • 2 tsp rice vinegar
  • 3 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 thumb-sized piece ginger, grated
  • 2 tbsp honey
  • Avocado oil spray for greasing

Instructions

  1. Preheat and Prepare Baking Dish: Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Grease a 9×13-inch baking dish thoroughly using avocado oil spray to prevent sticking.
  2. Layer Ingredients: Place the uncooked gluten-free spaghetti into the baking dish without breaking the noodles. Evenly distribute the cubed chicken breast on top and season it with salt and pepper. Add the mixed vegetables over the chicken.
  3. Add Sauce and Liquids: Pour in the chicken broth, coconut aminos, and rice vinegar. Sprinkle the minced garlic and grated ginger over the dish, then drizzle the honey. Lightly mix the contents to evenly combine all the ingredients without breaking the spaghetti.
  4. Bake and Stir: Cover the dish tightly and bake for 15 minutes. Remove from oven and carefully stir the mixture to prevent the pasta from sticking. Cover and bake for another 15 minutes.
  5. Stir and Rotate: Remove from the oven again, give the noodles a gentle toss, and rotate the dish to ensure even cooking. Return covered to the oven for an additional 10 minutes.
  6. Uncover and Crisp: Remove the cover, check the noodles for doneness, and bake uncovered for 5 more minutes. This step crisps the chicken and vegetables, and the chicken should reach an internal temperature of 165°F (74°C).
  7. Combine and Thicken Sauce: Remove the dish from the oven and stir thoroughly. The starch from the pasta will help thicken the sauce as you mix it well.
  8. Serve: Plate the noodles and chicken, topping with chopped green onion for a fresh garnish. Serve immediately.

Notes

  • Use gluten-free spaghetti to keep this dish gluten-free; brown rice pasta is a great option for texture and flavor.
  • Adjust salt and pepper to taste, especially if your chicken broth or coconut aminos are salty.
  • Make sure not to break the spaghetti when placing it in the baking dish for best texture.
  • Check the internal temperature of the chicken with a meat thermometer to ensure it is safely cooked through.
  • Stirring during baking prevents the noodles from clumping or sticking to the dish.
  • If you prefer a less sweet sauce, reduce the honey to 1 tablespoon or adjust according to taste.
  • You can substitute mixed vegetables with your favorite seasonal veggies if desired.
