This Chicken Spaghetti has a creamy 3-cheese blend of cream cheese, cheddar, and mozzarella! Rotel tomatoes pair perfectly with this creamy cheese sauce that's made from scratch!

Ingredients

  • 2 small boneless skinless chicken breasts
  • 2 teaspoons Italian Seasoning
  • Salt/Pepper
  • 2 Tablespoons olive oil
  • 4 Tablespoons butter
  • 1 small yellow onion (diced)
  • 3 cloves garlic (minced)
  • 4 Tablespoons flour
  • 1 ½ cups chicken broth
  • ¾ cup milk
  • 4 oz. cream cheese (softened)
  • 1 cup cheddar cheese (shredded)
  • 10 oz. diced tomatoes & green chilies
  • 8 oz. Thin Spaghetti
  • 1 cup mozzarella cheese (shredded)
  • red pepper flakes & chopped parsley (to garnish)

Directions

  1. 1

    Preheat oven to 400 degrees.

  2. 2

    Slice the chicken in half lengthwise to create 2 thinner slices. Pat dry and season lightly with salt/pepper and Italian seasoning.

  3. 3

    Reduce heat to medium low. Melt the butter in the same pot and use a silicone spatula to clean the chicken bits from the bottom. This is called “fond” and it gives the sauce a nice flavor.

  4. 4

    Top with mozzarella cheese and bake uncovered for 15 minutes. If desired, broil it for a few minutes at 475 degrees at the end, watch it closely.
