Ingredients
  

12 oz spaghetti pasta

2 tablespoons olive oil

1 pound boneless, skinless chicken breasts, diced

1 teaspoon garlic powder

1 teaspoon onion powder

½ teaspoon paprika

Salt and black pepper to taste

1 cup diced bell peppers (red and green)

1 cup diced onion

2 cups cherry tomatoes, halved

1 cup heavy cream

2 cups shredded cheddar cheese

1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese

½ cup grated Parmesan cheese

Fresh parsley, chopped for garnish

Instructions
 

Cook the Spaghetti: Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Add the spaghetti and cook according to package instructions until al dente. Drain and set aside.

    Sauté the Chicken: In a large skillet over medium-high heat, heat the olive oil. Add the diced chicken and season with garlic powder, onion powder, paprika, salt, and pepper. Cook for about 6-8 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the chicken is fully cooked and golden brown.

      Add Veggies: Add the diced bell peppers and onion to the skillet with the chicken. Sauté for an additional 3-4 minutes until the vegetables are tender. Stir in the cherry tomatoes and cook for another 2 minutes until they start to soften.

        Make the Cheese Sauce: Reduce the heat to medium-low. Pour in the heavy cream and bring to a simmer. Gradually add the cheddar, mozzarella, and Parmesan cheese, stirring constantly until the cheese has melted and the sauce is smooth.

          Combine: Add the cooked spaghetti to the skillet, tossing well to coat the pasta with the cheesy sauce. If the mixture seems too thick, add a splash of reserved pasta water until you achieve your desired consistency.

            Serve: Remove from heat, garnish with chopped fresh parsley, and serve immediately. Enjoy your Ultimate Cheesy Chicken Spaghetti warm and cheesy!
