    Start by boiling a pot of water. Once boiling, add 200 grams of spaghetti and cook for about 8-10 minutes, or until al dente. Drain and set aside.

    While the spaghetti is cooking, cut 500 grams of chicken breast into bite-sized pieces.

    3

    Heat 2 tablespoons of vegetable oil in a large pan over medium-high heat. Add the chicken pieces and stir-fry for 5-7 minutes, until they are cooked through and no longer pink.

    Meanwhile, mince 6 cloves of garlic and add them to the pan. Stir-fry for another 1-2 minutes, until the garlic is fragrant.

    Next, drizzle in 3 tablespoons of soy sauce and sprinkle 1 teaspoon of black pepper over the chicken. Stir everything together to coat the chicken evenly.
