2. Ingredients

For the Chicken:2 boneless, skinless chicken breasts Salt and pepper to taste 1 tablespoon olive oil For the Sauce:1 tablespoon olive oil 1 medium onion, finely chopped 2 cloves garlic, minced 1 bell pepper, chopped (red or green) 1 can (14.5 oz) diced tomatoes 1 can (10.5 oz) cream of mushroom soup 1 can (10.5 oz) cream of chicken soup 1 cup chicken broth 1 teaspoon Italian seasoning 1/2 teaspoon red pepper flakes (optional) 2 cups shredded cheddar cheese Salt and pepper to taste For the Pasta:12 oz spaghetti Water for boiling Salt

3. Preparation Steps

Preparing the Chicken: Season the chicken breasts with salt and pepper. Heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Cook the chicken breasts until they are no longer pink in the center, about 6-7 minutes per side. Remove the chicken from the skillet and let it rest. Once cooled, shred the chicken using two forks. Cooking the Pasta: Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Add the spaghetti and cook according to package instructions until al dente. Drain the pasta and set aside.

4. Making the Sauce

In the same skillet used for the chicken, add 1 tablespoon of olive oil. Sauté the chopped onion and garlic until fragrant, about 2-3 minutes. Add the chopped bell pepper and cook until softened, about 5 minutes. Stir in the diced tomatoes, cream of mushroom soup, cream of chicken soup, chicken broth, Italian seasoning, and red pepper flakes (if using). Bring the mixture to a simmer and cook for 10 minutes, stirring occasionally. Add the shredded chicken and 1 cup of cheddar cheese to the sauce, stirring until the cheese is melted and well combined. Season with salt and pepper to taste.

5. Combining and Baking

Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). In a large mixing bowl, combine the cooked spaghetti with the chicken and sauce mixture. Transfer the mixture to a greased 9x13 inch baking dish. Sprinkle the remaining 1 cup of cheddar cheese evenly over the top. Bake in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes, or until the cheese is bubbly and golden brown. Chicken Spaghetti
