- Cover and bake for 45 min till chicken is tender.
- Libby's notes: I first tried this in February of 1989. Since then I've tried lots of adaptations. I can tell you what not to do. There's not really much way to improve on the original recipe except I often add in an additional 8 ounces of tomato sauce and maybe a tsp. of Italian seasoning, just to really coat the spaghetti.
- Don't skip browning the chicken. It does make a difference. Don't use boneless chicken, it won't have the flavor of bone-in chicken. You can skin the chicken, but it's better (and higher in fat) with the skin on. Do not forget the Parmesan cheese, and the better the quality, the better the dish. Freshly grated is best.
- You can brown the chicken and then make the sauce in the same pan-even bake it in which if you have a stovetop/oven safe casserole.
