Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 pound spaghetti (I use half a box of whole wheat plus half a box of plain pasta)
  • 3 tablespoons butter
  • 1 sweet onion, diced
  • 2 bell peppers, diced
  • 1/2 cup chicken broth
  • 1 1/2 cups whole milk
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 1/2 teaspoon pepper
  • 2 cups extra sharp cheddar cheese, shredded
  • 8 ounces of cream cheese
  • 2 cups cooked chicken (breast or thighs), shredded or diced
  • 2 tablespoons fresh parsley for garnish

Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees F.
  2. In a large sauté pan, cook onion and peppers in butter until soft. About 10 minutes.
  3. Meanwhile, prepare pasta very al dente (2 minutes less than the package suggests).
  4. Add chicken broth, milk, salt and pepper into the sauté pan. Stir in cheese plus cream cheese.
  5. Combine pasta with cheese sauce and chicken.
  6. Pour into a 9×13 baking pan prepared with butter.
  7. Cover with foil and bake for 20 minutes. Remove foil and bake for another 10 minutes.
