Creamy Chicken Spaghetti Recipe

Ingredients

• 8 oz spaghetti (or any pasta of choice)
• 2 tbsp butter or olive oil
• 1 lb boneless, skinless chicken breast, cubed
• 1 medium onion, diced
• 1/2 cup bell pepper, diced (green or red)
• 2 cloves garlic, minced
• 1 can (10.5 oz) cream of chicken soup
• 1 can (10.5 oz) cream of mushroom soup (or another can of cream of chicken)
• 1 1/2 cups chicken broth
• 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese (plus extra for topping)
• 1/2 cup shredded mozzarella cheese (optional)
• 1/2 tsp black pepper
• 1/2 tsp garlic powder
• Salt, to taste
• Chopped fresh parsley (for garnish, optional)

Instructions

1. Cook the Pasta: Cook the spaghetti in a large pot of salted boiling water according to package instructions until al dente. Drain and set aside.
2. Cook the Chicken: In a large skillet, heat the butter or olive oil over medium heat. Add the cubed chicken, season with a bit of salt and pepper, and cook until it’s no longer pink, about 5-6 minutes. Remove the chicken from the skillet and set aside.
3. Sauté the Vegetables: In the same skillet, add the diced onion, bell pepper, and minced garlic. Sauté for about 3-4 minutes, or until the vegetables are soft and fragrant.
4. Add Soups and Broth: Stir in the cream of chicken soup, cream of mushroom soup, and chicken broth. Mix well to combine into a creamy sauce.
5. Add Cheese and Seasoning: Add the shredded cheddar and mozzarella cheese, stirring until melted. Season the sauce with black pepper, garlic powder, and more salt if needed.
6. Combine Everything: Add the cooked spaghetti and chicken to the skillet, stirring until everything is well-coated with the creamy sauce.
7. Bake (Optional): For a baked version, transfer the mixture to a greased baking dish, sprinkle extra cheddar cheese on top, and bake in a preheated oven at 350°F (175°C) for 15-20 minutes or until bubbly.
8. Serve: Garnish with chopped fresh parsley, if desired, and serve hot.

This Creamy Chicken Spaghetti is rich, cheesy, and full of flavor. It’s perfect for a cozy dinner and pairs well with a side of garlic bread or a simple green salad. Enjoy!
