This Chicken Spaghetti has a creamy 3-cheese blend of cream cheese, cheddar, and mozzarella! Rotel tomatoes give this dish a pop of color and added flavor that pairs perfectly with this creamy cheese sauce. (PLUS: No canned soup!)
Be sure to serve this with a side of my Garlic Bread with Cheese and be sure to try my Chicken Scampi recipe next!

• 1 tablespoon freshly minced garlic
• ¾ teaspoon salt
• ½ teaspoon chili powder
• ½ teaspoon paprika
• 3 tablespoons all-purpose flour

Instructions
1. Cook spaghetti noodles in a large pot of boiling salted water until al dente. Drain.
2. Meanwhile, heat a large skillet over medium-high heat and add the oil.
3. Add onions and peppers, cooking and stirring until softened, about 3-4 minutes.
4. Add chicken breast cubes and cook until white on the outside (they don’t necessarily need to brown.
