What you'll need

Instructions

  1. Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Add the brown rice spaghetti and cook according to package instructions until al dente, then drain, reserving a little cooking water.
  2. While the pasta cooks, sauté the onions and garlic in avocado oil over medium heat for about 5 minutes until softened but not browned.
  3. Add the chicken slices and cook, breaking into bite-sized pieces, until fully cooked and the internal temperature reaches 165°F (74°C). Season with Himalayan pink salt and black pepper.
  4. Add the sliced hot dogs and cook 2-3 minutes until lightly browned.
  5. Stir in the tomato paste, tomato sauce, chickpeas, diced tomatoes, bell pepper, green onion, and red chili (if using). Simmer for 8-10 minutes until slightly thickened, then stir in the honey for the signature sweet flavor and adjust seasoning.
  6. Add the drained spaghetti to the sauce and toss until evenly coated, loosening with a splash of reserved pasta water if needed.
  7. Serve warm, topped generously with grated cheese and garnished with fresh green onion and red chili slices, if desired.
  8. Enjoy this healthier version of Jolly Spaghetti as an authentic Filipino dish or served with your favorite side.

Serving suggestions

  • Serve with a side of garlic bread or crusty bread for dipping.

  • Enjoy alongside grilled chicken wings or other protein-rich sides.

Leftover ideas

  • Transform leftovers into a hearty chicken vegetable soup by adding some fresh spinach, herbs, and broth.
  • Shred the spaghetti and use it as a base for a clean-eating stir-fry with tofu or shrimp.

FAQ

Can I use regular spaghetti instead of brown rice spaghetti for Jollibee-Style Jolly Spaghetti?

You can, but brown rice spaghetti adds a unique texture and flavor. Using regular spaghetti will make the dish sweeter and less distinctively Filipino.

Can I use sliced ham instead of sliced chicken breast in this Jollibee-Style Jolly Spaghetti?

While you can substitute, using sliced ham might affect the overall flavor profile. Chicken provides a more authentic taste for this dish.

Store assembled without cooking in an airtight container for up to 3 days. Reheat gently and add cooked spaghetti and chickpeas just before serving.

The pasta might not have been drained properly or could be undercooked. Ensure pasta is al dente and drain thoroughly to avoid gumminess.
