Method
- Cook the spaghetti according to package instructions until al dente. Drain and set aside.
- Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Season the chicken pieces with paprika, Italian seasoning, salt, and pepper. Add the chicken to the skillet and cook for 5 to 7 minutes until golden brown and fully cooked. Remove the chicken from the skillet and set aside.
- In the same skillet, melt butter over medium heat. Add the chopped onion and cook for 3 to 4 minutes until softened. Stir in the minced garlic and cook for another 30 seconds until fragrant.
- Pour in the chicken broth and heavy cream. Stir well and bring to a gentle simmer. Reduce heat to low and let the sauce thicken slightly for about 5 minutes.
- Add the cooked spaghetti and the cooked chicken back into the skillet. Toss gently to combine until the pasta is fully coated with the sauce.
- Sprinkle the shredded Monterey Jack cheese evenly over the top. Cover the skillet and let it sit for 2 to 3 minutes until the cheese is melted.
- Remove from heat, garnish with fresh parsley, and serve warm.
Notes
For a spicier kick, add a pinch of red pepper flakes when seasoning the chicken. If the sauce is too thick after reheating, add a splash of chicken broth to loosen it.
