1-First Step: Preparation and Mise en Place: Begin by chopping the garlic and tomatoes into small pieces to release their flavors. Measure out the spaghetti and oil accurately, then set everything aside in bowls for easy access, which helps avoid any last-minute rushes and keeps the cooking flow natural.

2-Second Step: Cooking the Base: Heat the oil in a large pan over medium heat for about 1-2 minutes until it shimmers. Add the chopped garlic and tomatoes, stirring them gently for 3-4 minutes to soften and blend their taste, creating a fragrant base that’s key to Chicken Marbella’s appeal.

3-Third Step: Adding the Main Ingredient: Once the base is ready, incorporate the spaghetti into the pan, ensuring it’s coated evenly with the oil mixture. Pour in enough water to cover the pasta, about 500 ml, and bring it to a simmer, adapting for dietary preferences by using gluten-free pasta if needed.

4-Fourth Step: Simmer and Combine: Let everything cook together for 10 minutes over medium heat, stirring occasionally to prevent sticking and ensure even cooking. This step allows the flavors of Chicken Marbella to meld, making it easy to adjust for low-calorie options by reducing the oil midway.

5-Final Step: Finishing Touches and Serving: Once cooked, remove the pan from the heat and let it sit for a minute to cool slightly. Serve the Chicken Marbella immediately in bowls, garnishing with fresh herbs if desired, and enjoy the warm, comforting results that make this dish a hit for all taste.
