My father-n-law, from Nicaragua, taught this to my Hubby who then taught it to me. It's one of the family favorites.

Time 1h

Yield 6-8 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 6

1 (16 ounce) box spaghetti (or linguini)
3 lbs chicken breasts (more or less)
2 (1/2 teaspoon) packets sazon goya con culantro y achiote
1 cup ketchup
1/4 cup margarine
1 (1 lb) bag hispanic sour cream (such as La Perfecta or Sula)

Steps:

  • Place chicken in a large pot, fill with water and bring to a boil.
  • Boil for about 20 minutes or until chicken is fully cooked.
  • Remove the chicken from the water and set aside to cool off a bit. DO NOT discard water.
  • Bring the same water to a boil cook your pasta in it as directed on box.
  • Once pasta is cooked remove from water and set aside.
  • Once chicken is cool enough to handle shred it.
  • In a large pot on medium high heat melt the margarine an sauté the pasta for about 2 minutes.
  • Mix in chicken and stir well.
  • Mix in the ketchup and stir well.
  • Mix in the remainder ingredients and stir well. (You may not think the whole bag of cream is necessary).
  • You may need to add a bit of water, about 1/4 cup, because you don't want your pasta to look dry nor too soupy.
  • Once everything is mixed well cover and simmer for about 20 minutes.
  • ENJOY.
