My gag reflex kicks in just thinking about it. Oddly enough, I don't really mind raw red meat, though. I just either buy rotisserie chicken, like others have suggested, or have my husband do the cutting up work. Fill us in on how that casserole turns out--I've been dying to try it, but too lazy to cook. :) I have the same problem with raw chicken…the texture, the sight, the smell, it’s just all too much.

Something to consider for future culinary endeavors. I shop at Publix, but most any grocery store will do the same. I don't have any phobias about handling raw meat, but I hate wasting my precious time cutting it up. So whenever I am doing my shopping and will be running around the store anyway, I stop by the meat counter first, pick out a nice roast (or boneless chicken breasts and boneless thighs in your case) and have the butcher/meat counter guy cut it up into bite sized pieces. They re-package it with the original price sticker, so I don't even have to pay any extra for it. Then, when you get home, you can just dump the already chunked meat into whatever pot/pan you're using without having to touch it directly. Then you can focus on whatever other prep your recipe requires...or the kids' homework...or whatever reality tv show is on. Anyway...must go check out more of your blog. See you around!

Her food is nasty. That's not cooking that slopping together things. My suggestion is Giada or the barefoot contessa or even Fanny Farmer. They're easy to follow recipes and they're yummy too. Blah!

You would still have to pull the meat, but it wouldn't be raw. I'm with you on the touching the raw meat - i'm pregnant & I can barely cook meat, but touch the stuff? ekkkk.

I am a white mean only chicken person and prefer to cook the chicken and then add it, rather I boil the chicken breasts or pan fry chicken strips - boneless skinless white meat!

If it bothers you that much spend the extra money, which really won't be all that much, and buy a rotisserie chicken from the deli section of the grocery store. It is already cooked and seasoned. Then when you cook the spaghetti use a 50/50 mixture of chicken stock/broth and water. Then do everything else the same. You will still get the flavored pasta and you don't have to handle raw meat. Good luck! I’m not reading the 40+ comments before me, so forgive me if I repeat.

If I cook chicken I cannot eat it. I actually don't even try to cook it anymore. If I see a recipe that calls for cutting or touching raw chicken in any way I don't cook it. It makes me sick just thinking about it. We get a roasted chicken at the grocery store about once a week. I used to be able to eat a little of that if my husband pulled it off the bones. But now I can't even do that. I sit at the table gagging while he and our son eat it. I'm sure that's fun for them! I am exactly the same way! If I cook chicken I cannot eat it.

Usually it's every other day or even every 2 days sometimes...And I DON'T wear make up and do nothing with my (curly/wavy) hair besides wash/condition/comb it in the shower and brush or comb it a little when out. No blow drying, no product besides a TEENSY bit to help with frizzies, no styling tools. In fact, esp. on non-shower days, it usually ends up in a knotted bun. You're not alone!! AND, not gross! So there. :) Hey, um, no chicken advice but I wanted to tell you: I don’t shower every day either!!

I used 2 chicken breast, cubed it and browned it. For the pasta I just threw in a bouillon cube to the water. I also didn't have cheddar so I used a Italian mix cheese instead. It turned out great....so, like everyone suggested....have a Rottiserie one night, then use the rest for this recipe!!
