Ingredients

• 12 oz spaghetti
• 2 pieces boneless, skinless chicken breasts
• 2 tbsp olive oil
• 1 medium yellow onion, diced
• 3 cloves garlic cloves, minced
• 14.5 oz diced tomatoes (canned)
• 8 oz tomato sauce
• 4 oz cream cheese, softened
• 1 cup chicken broth
• 1 tsp Italian seasoning
• 1 tsp salt
• 0.5 tsp black pepper
• 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
• 2 tbsp chopped fresh parsley (optional, for garnish)

Directions

Step 1

Cook the spaghetti according to the package instructions. Drain and set aside.

Step 2

While the pasta is cooking, heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat.

Step 3

Season the chicken breasts with a pinch of salt and pepper, then add them to the skillet. Cook for 6-7 minutes per side, or until the chicken is fully cooked and no longer pink in the center. Remove from the skillet and set aside to cool slightly.

Step 4

In the same skillet, add the remaining 1 tablespoon of olive oil and sauté the diced onion until soft and translucent, about 4-5 minutes.

Step 5

Add the minced garlic and cook for another 1 minute until fragrant.

Step 6

Stir in the diced tomatoes, tomato sauce, chicken broth, Italian seasoning, salt, and black pepper. Bring the mixture to a gentle simmer.

Step 7

Cut the cooked chicken into bite-sized pieces and add them to the sauce.

Step 8

Stir in the softened cream cheese until fully melted and the sauce becomes creamy.

Step 9

Add the drained spaghetti to the skillet and toss to coat it evenly in the sauce.

Step 10

Reduce the heat to low, sprinkle the shredded cheddar cheese over the top, and cover the skillet with a lid. Let it sit for 3-4 minutes to allow the cheese to melt.

Step 11

Remove from heat, garnish with chopped parsley if desired, and serve hot.
