Cooking the dish according to the recipe:
- Place the chicken in a large skillet and cover completely with the marinara sauce. Bring the sauce to a boil over high heat, then reduce the heat to low. Cover and simmer over low heat, turning the chicken once and swirling the pan occasionally to ensure even cooking, until a thermometer inserted into the thickest part of the chicken breast reads 165°F (74°C), 30 to 35 minutes.
- Meanwhile, bring a saucepan of water to a boil and add salt. Cook the spaghetti until al dente according to package directions. Drain, setting aside 1/4 cup of the water.
- Remove the chicken from the marinara sauce, then shred it and sprinkle with 1 teaspoon of salt. Add the spaghetti and its cooking water to the marinara sauce and cook over medium heat, stirring occasionally, until the sauce coats the pasta, 1 to 2 minutes.
- To serve, divide the pasta among 4 plates and top each serving with chicken pieces. Sprinkle with parsley, if using.
