  • 12 oz spaghetti
  • 2 tbsp olive oil
  • 1 lb boneless, skinless chicken breasts, cubed
  • 1 tsp garlic powder
  • 1 tsp onion powder
  • 1/2 tsp chili powder
  • 1 1/2 cups Monterey Jack cheese, shredded
  • 1 cup cheddar cheese, shredded
  • 1 cup chicken broth
  • 1/2 cup heavy cream
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • Fresh parsley, chopped (optional for garnish)

Instructions

  1. Cook the spaghetti according to package instructions until al dente. Drain and set aside.
  2. In a large skillet, heat olive oil over medium heat. Add cubed chicken, season with garlic powder, onion powder, chili powder, salt, and pepper, and cook until golden brown, about 5-7 minutes.
  3. Reduce heat to low and stir in the chicken broth and heavy cream. Let simmer for 5 minutes to thicken slightly.
  4. Add the cooked spaghetti to the skillet, tossing to coat the pasta evenly with the sauce.
  5. Sprinkle the Monterey Jack and cheddar cheeses over the spaghetti, stirring until melted and fully incorporated.
  6. Garnish with fresh parsley if desired, and serve hot.
