This Chicken Spaghetti is a much lighter version than your typical spaghetti made with tomato sauce and meatballs. The pasta is cooked in chicken broth instead of water and you can buy a rotisserie chicken or use leftover chicken to save time. Speaking of saving time, this One-Pot meal is not only easy, there is less to clean up! š Serves 4 Total Time: 30 minutes
Ingredients:
3/4
lb uncooked spaghetti, broken in half
1
carton (32 oz) chicken broth
1/2
teaspoon salt
2
cups shredded deli rotisserie chicken
1
container (8 oz) cream cheese spread with jalapeƱo peppers or a less spicy version, substitute garden vegetable or onion-chive cream cheese spread for the jalapeƱo cream cheese spread.
1
cup shredded Mexican cheese blend (4 oz)
1
cup diced seeded tomato (1 medium)
2
tablespoons chopped fresh cilantro

In 4-quart saucepan or Dutch oven, heat spaghetti, broth and salt just to boiling over high heat.
