Units
Scale
- 2 chicken breasts, boneless and skinless
- 8 oz spaghetti
- 2 tbsp olive oil
- 1 medium onion, chopped
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 can (10 oz) cream of mushroom soup
- 1 cup chicken broth
- 1/2 cup heavy cream
- 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
- 1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese
- 1 tsp dried basil
- 1/2 tsp dried oregano
- Salt and pepper to taste
- Fresh parsley, chopped (for garnish)
Instructions
- Cook the spaghetti according to package instructions. Drain and set aside.
- While the pasta cooks, heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Season the chicken breasts with salt and pepper, then cook them in the skillet until golden and cooked through, about 6-7 minutes per side. Remove from the skillet, let rest for a few minutes, then shred the chicken.
- In the same skillet, add the chopped onion and garlic. Cook for 2-3 minutes until softened.
- Add the cream of mushroom soup, chicken broth, and heavy cream to the skillet. Stir until smooth and heated through.
- Stir in the shredded cheddar cheese, Parmesan cheese, basil, and oregano. Cook for an additional 2-3 minutes until the cheese melts and the sauce is creamy.
- Add the shredded chicken and cooked spaghetti to the sauce. Toss until everything is evenly coated.
- Season with salt and pepper to taste. Serve the chicken spaghetti hot, garnished with fresh parsley.
Notes
- For a spicier version, add red pepper flakes to the sauce.
- Feel free to use other cheeses like mozzarella for a different flavor.
- This dish can be made ahead and reheated, making it a great option for meal prep.
