Peppery Spaghetti with Green Beans and Chicken

I've made several recipes that include the combination of spaghetti and chicken. Today's spaghetti is loaded with veggies too including juicy tomatoes. This makes it a complete meal packed with all the vital nutrients. The recipe presented here is a bit spicy. You must reduce some peppers to get a milder version of the same. Vegetarians can completely omit chicken or can replace it with mushrooms. I've slit the green beans from between instead of chopping them into small pieces. If you prefer, you can choose the latter option so that kids can also consume it easily. I always prefer whole wheat spaghetti as it is rich in fiber and enhances the flavor significantly. So, let's make this yummy spaghetti preparation.
