2 tablespoons vegetable oil
4 skinless, boneless chicken breast halves
1 (12 ounce) package spaghetti noodles, broken in half
5 roma (plum) tomatoes, chopped
1 large onion, chopped
1/2 tablespoon ground cumin
2 1/2 teaspoons chili powder

Heat 1 tablespoon of vegetable oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Cook chicken breasts in the oil until nicely browned on the outside. Remove from the skillet and set aside.

Pour in water, cover, and simmer over medium-low heat until pasta is tender, and water has been absorbed, about 10 minutes. Check towards the end, and add more water if necessary.
