What you need to make The Best Chicken Spaghetti:

1 pound spaghetti

2 boneless, skinless chicken breasts

1 onion, chopped

2 cloves garlic, minced

1 can (10.75 ounces) cream of mushroom soup

1 can (10 ounces) diced tomatoes and green chilies

1 cup shredded cheddar cheese

1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese

1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese

1/4 cup all-purpose flour

2 cups chicken broth

Salt and pepper to taste

How to make it:

Cook the spaghetti: Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Add the spaghetti and cook according to package directions until al dente. Drain and set aside.

Prepare the chicken: Cook the chicken breasts in a skillet over medium heat until cooked through. Let cool, then shred.

Make the sauce: In the same skillet, sauté the onion and garlic until softened. Stir in the flour and cook for 1 minute. Gradually whisk in the chicken broth until smooth.

Combine ingredients: Add the cream of mushroom soup, diced tomatoes and green chilies, cheddar cheese, and Parmesan cheese to the sauce. Stir until combined.

Assemble: In a large bowl, combine the cooked spaghetti, shredded chicken, and sauce. Toss to coat.

Bake: Transfer the mixture to a greased 9×13 inch baking dish. Top with mozzarella cheese. Bake in a preheated oven at 350°F (175°C) for 20-25 minutes, or until bubbly and the cheese is melted

Tips:

Don’t overcook the spaghetti. Al dente pasta will hold up better in the sauce and prevent the dish from becoming mushy.

Shred the chicken for even distribution. Shredding the cooked chicken will help it to mix evenly with the sauce and prevent large chunks.

Adjust the cheese to your preference. If you prefer a cheesier dish, feel free to increase the amount of mozzarella and Parmesan cheese.
