is a creamy, cheesy, and flavorful dish that combines tender chicken, pasta, and a rich Monterey Jack cheese sauce. It’s a comforting and satisfying meal that’s perfect for a weeknight dinner or feeding a crowd.
Ingredients
2 boneless, skinless chicken breasts (cooked and shredded), 8 ounces spaghetti (or your choice of pasta), 1 tablespoon olive oil, 1/2 cup diced onion, 1 clove garlic (minced), 1 can (10.5 ounces) cream of chicken soup, 1 cup sour cream, 1 cup shredded Monterey Jack cheese, 1/2 cup shredded cheddar cheese, 1/4 cup milk, 1/4 teaspoon salt, 1/4 teaspoon black pepper, and 1/2 teaspoon paprika (optional).
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease a 9×13-inch baking dish. Cook the spaghetti according to package directions. Drain and set aside.
In a large skillet, heat olive oil over medium heat. Add diced onion and cook until softened, about 5 minutes. Add minced garlic and cook for an additional minute.
In a separate bowl, combine the cream of chicken soup, sour cream, milk, salt, pepper, and paprika. Stir in the shredded chicken, Monterey Jack cheese, and half of the cheddar cheese. Mix until well combined.
Add the cooked spaghetti to the skillet with the onion and garlic mixture, then pour in the creamy chicken mixture. Stir to combine everything evenly.
Transfer the pasta mixture to the prepared baking dish. Sprinkle the remaining cheddar cheese over the top. Bake for 25-30 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and bubbly.
Serving Suggestions
Garnish with chopped parsley or extra paprika for a pop of color. Serve with a side of steamed vegetables or a fresh salad for a complete meal.
