Monterey Chicken Spaghetti is an incredible dish combining tender chicken, spaghetti, and a creamy sauce.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 pound spaghetti
  • 2 large chicken breasts, diced
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 1 cup diced bell peppers (red and green)
  • 1 cup diced onion
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 can (14.5 ounces) diced tomatoes, undrained
  • 1 cup chicken broth
  • 1 teaspoon Italian seasoning
  • 1 teaspoon paprika
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • 1 cup shredded Monterey Jack cheese
  • 1 cup heavy cream
  • Fresh parsley for garnish (optional)

Instructions

  1. Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Add the spaghetti and cook according to package instructions until al dente. Drain and set aside.
  2. In a large skillet, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the diced chicken breasts and sauté until golden brown and cooked through, about 5-7 minutes.
  3. Stir in the diced bell peppers, onion, and garlic. Cook for an additional 3-4 minutes until the vegetables soften.
  4. Add the can of diced tomatoes (with their juices), chicken broth, Italian seasoning, paprika, salt, and pepper. Stir gently to combine.
  5. Bring the mixture to a simmer and let it cook for about 10 minutes, allowing the flavors to meld together.
  6. Reduce the heat to low. Stir in the heavy cream and half of the shredded Monterey Jack cheese, mixing until well combined and creamy.
  7. Add the cooked spaghetti to the skillet, tossing to coat the pasta evenly with the sauce.
  8. Sprinkle the remaining Monterey Jack cheese on top and cover the skillet. Allow it to cook for an additional 2-3 minutes until the cheese is melted and bubbly.
  9. Remove from heat and garnish with fresh parsley if desired.

Notes

  • This dish serves well with a side salad.
  • You can substitute chicken with shrimp for a different flavor.
  • Store leftovers in an airtight container for up to 3 days.
