Ingredients
Scale
- 2 cups cooked spaghetti
- 1 pound boneless, skinless chicken breasts
- 1 cup Monterey Jack cheese, shredded
- 1 bell pepper (red or green), diced
- 1/2 cup onion, finely chopped
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 can (10 oz) cream of chicken soup
- 1 tsp paprika
- Salt and pepper, to taste
Instructions
- Cook the Spaghetti: Start by boiling a large pot of salted water. Add the spaghetti and cook according to the package instructions until al dente. Drain and set aside.
- Cook the Chicken: In a large skillet, heat a tablespoon of olive oil over medium heat. Season the chicken breasts with salt, pepper, and paprika. Cook for about 6-7 minutes on each side, until they are golden brown and cooked through. Remove from the skillet and let them rest.
- Sauté the Vegetables: In the same skillet, add more oil if needed, and sauté the onions and bell pepper until they soften, about 5 minutes. Add the minced garlic and cook for an additional minute until fragrant.
- Combine the Ingredients: Reduce the heat to low, and stir in the cream of chicken soup. Mix well until everything is combined. Add the cooked spaghetti and shredded chicken back into the skillet, tossing everything together until well coated.
- Add Cheese: Remove the skillet from the heat and sprinkle the Monterey Jack cheese over the top. Cover with a lid and let it sit for a few minutes until the cheese melts.
- Garnish and Serve: Finish off with your choice of garnishes, and serve hot with a side salad or garlic bread for a complete meal.
