Ingredients

Original recipe (1X) yields 4 servings

  • 1 pound spaghetti

  • 2 tablespoons olive oil

  • 2 cloves garlic, minced

  • 1 small yellow onion, diced

  • 3 skinless, boneless chicken breast halves, cut into bite-size pieces, or more to taste

  • 1 (10.75 ounce) can cream of mushroom soup

  • 1 (10 ounce) can diced tomatoes with green chile peppers

  • ½ cup shredded Colby-Monterey Jack cheese

Directions

  1. Bring a large pot of lightly salted water to a boil. Cook spaghetti in boiling water, stirring occasionally, until tender yet firm to the bite, about 12 minutes. Drain.

  2. Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).

  3. Heat olive oil in an oven-proof skillet over medium heat; cook and stir garlic until fragrant, about 1 minute. Add onion; cook and stir until onion begins to soften, about 2 minutes. Add chicken; cook and stir until chicken is no longer pink in the center, about 5 minutes.

  4. Mix cream of mushroom soup and diced tomatoes with green chile peppers into chicken mixture. Mix spaghetti into chicken mixture and top with Colby-Monterey Jack cheese.

  5. Place the skillet in the preheated oven and bake until cheese is melted and slightly brown, 15 to 20 minutes.
