This is a very easy dinner to prepare, and you and your family will love it!

Somalian style chicken and spaghetti

Here’s how to make this recipe (adjust to your liking and needs):

  • In a large pot add your favorite cooking oil, and warm on medium-high heat. Add and melt 2 bouillon cubes
  • Using skinless chicken legs or thighs (I prefer bone in) that you’ve cleaned preferably with vinegar and/or lemon juice, add to the simmering pot. Brown chicken
  • While chicken is browning, add salt, pepper, and mixed seasonings to your taste
  • Allow to brown at least 5-10 minutes
  • Add 1-2 cans of tomato sauce and mix well
  • Add more seasonings as desired and at least 1-2 tbsp of cumin powder. Mix well
  • Allow to cook covered for at least 30-45 minutes
  • Add your green beans or vegetable in the quantity you’d like as desired
  • Cook an additional 15-30 minutes as needed
  • Once chicken is fully cooked, you can add freshly chopped cilantro at about 1-2 tbsp
  • Serve with spaghetti and a banana
