  • Total Time: 38 minute

Ingredients

– 8 ounces spaghetti
– 1 pound boneless, skinless chicken breasts
– 1 teaspoon garlic powder
– 1 teaspoon onion powder
– 1 teaspoon smoked paprika
– Salt and pepper, to taste
– 2 tablespoons olive oil
– 1 cup sliced bell peppers (mixed colors)
– 1 cup diced tomatoes (canned or fresh)
– 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
– 1 cup shredded Monterey Jack cheese
– 1/2 cup heavy cream or sour cream
– Fresh parsley, chopped (for garnish)

Instructions

Follow these simple steps to create a delicious Monterey Chicken Spaghetti:

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

2. Prepare the Chicken: Season the chicken breasts with garlic powder, onion powder, smoked paprika, salt, and pepper.

3. Sauté the Chicken: In a large skillet, heat olive oil over medium heat. Add the seasoned chicken breasts and cook for about 6-7 minutes on each side, or until fully cooked. Remove from the skillet and allow to rest.

4. Cook the Vegetables: In the same skillet, add sliced bell peppers and diced tomatoes. Sauté for about 5 minutes until the peppers are softened.

5. Combine Ingredients: Slice the cooked chicken into strips and add it back to the skillet. Stir in the heavy cream (or sour cream) and mix well.

6. Mix with Spaghetti: Add the drained spaghetti to the skillet and toss to combine everything evenly.

7. Layer with Cheese: Generously sprinkle the shredded cheddar and Monterey Jack cheese over the top. Cover the skillet and allow it to cook on low for about 5 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and bubbly.

8. Garnish and Serve: Remove from heat, garnish with fresh parsley, and serve immediately.
