Instructions

  • In a large pot, add the butter and let it melt over medium-high heat.
  • Then add in the diced onion, red pepper, green pepper, and minced garlic. Stir for a few minutes or until the onion becomes translucent.
    Steps to make Chicken Spaghetti: saute the garlic, peppers, and onion until softened.
  • Then add in the flour, salt, and pepper. Stir for about a minute to cook out the raw flour taste.
  • Now slowly pour in the chicken broth while continuing to mix. This will help deglaze the bottom of the pot.
  • Once the sauce has slightly simmered and thickened, pour in the heavy cream. Bring to a simmer once more.
    Steps to make Chicken Spaghetti: add flour, salt, and pepper to the sauteed veggies, then mix before adding the broth and heavy cream.
  • Now add in 1/2 of the cheddar and 1/2 of the mozzarella. Stir until melted and remove from the heat.
  • Cook the pasta in a large pot of well-salted water. Be careful not to overcook the pasta since it will bake more in the oven.
  • Now add in the cooked drained pasta, shredded cooked chicken, and canned tomatoes. Stir just to combine.
    Steps to make Chicken Spaghetti: add the cheeses, stir, then add the cooked spaghetti, chicken, and diced tomatoes, before stirring everything together.
  • Transfer the pasta to a deep 9x13 inch baking dish.
  • Add the remaining cheddar and mozzarella cheese on top and bake at 375 degrees Fahrenheit for about 20 minutes then broil for 2-3 minutes to brown the cheese.
    Steps to make Chicken Spaghetti: place the chicken spaghetti in a baking dish, cover with cheese, and bake to a golden brown.
