Creamy Chicken Spaghetti Recipe

Chicken Spaghetti is one of my husband’s favorite dinners, and to be honest, it’s mine too! I love the combination of different textures and flavors, along with the soft, tender chicken topped with melted cheese.

I used two types of cream soups—cream of chicken and cream of mushroom—along with a blend of herbs and spices. This creates a rich, juicy sauce that mixes perfectly with the spaghetti.

For the pasta, you can use any shape you like. As for the chicken, you can go with shredded chicken or crispy, tender pieces cooked in your preferred style.
