A creamy, cheesy delight with tender chicken and spaghetti, perfect for family dinners.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 8 oz spaghetti (or your preferred pasta)
  • 2 cups cooked, diced chicken breast (grilled or baked)
  • 1 cup heavy cream (or a plant-based alternative if desired)
  • 1 cup shredded Monterey Jack cheese
  • 1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 3 cloves garlic, minced
  • Salt and pepper, to taste
  • Chopped fresh parsley, for garnish (optional)

Instructions

  1. Cook the Pasta: Begin by bringing a large pot of salted water to a rolling boil. Add your spaghetti (or preferred pasta) and cook according to the package instructions until al dente. Once cooked, drain the pasta, reserving a bit of the starchy cooking water, and set it aside.
  2. Sauté the Garlic: In a large skillet, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the minced garlic and sauté for about 1 minute, or until it becomes fragrant.
  3. Add the Chicken: Once the garlic is aromatic, toss in the cooked, diced chicken breast. Stir well to combine the garlic and chicken, allowing them to mingle for about 3-4 minutes.
  4. Make it Creamy: Reduce the heat to low and carefully pour in the heavy cream. Stir continuously for about 2 minutes.
  5. Infuse with Cheese: Sprinkle in the shredded Monterey Jack cheese and grated Parmesan cheese. Stir continuously until melted.
  6. Combine with Pasta: Add the cooked spaghetti into the skillet, tossing everything together until well coated with the creamy sauce.
  7. Garnish and Serve: Remove from heat and sprinkle with chopped fresh parsley if desired. Serve hot.

Notes

Pair with a crisp green salad and garlic bread for a complete meal. Add vegetables for extra color and nutrients.
