  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 1 small onion, diced
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 2 jalapeños, seeds removed and diced
  • 1 can (14 ounces) diced tomatoes
  • 1 can (10 ounces) condensed cream of mushroom soup
  • 1 cup chicken broth
  • 1 teaspoon dried oregano
  • 1 teaspoon dried basil
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
  • 1/4 teaspoon red pepper flakes
  • 1/2 cup shredded cheddar cheese
  • 1/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese
  • Fresh parsley, chopped (for garnish)

Directions

  1. Cook spaghetti according to package instructions. Drain and set aside.
  2. In a large skillet, heat olive oil over medium heat. Add chicken breasts and cook until browned and cooked through, about 5-6 minutes per side. Remove chicken from skillet and set aside.

  4. Add diced tomatoes, cream of mushroom soup, chicken broth, dried oregano, dried basil, salt, black pepper, and red pepper flakes to the skillet. Stir well to combine.
  5. Slice the cooked chicken breasts into thin strips and add them back to the skillet. Stir to coat the chicken with the sauce.
  6. Simmer the sauce and chicken mixture for 10 minutes, until heated through and flavors are blended.
  7. Add the cooked spaghetti to the skillet and toss to coat the pasta with the sauce.
  8. Garnish with shredded cheddar cheese, grated Parmesan cheese, and chopped parsley.
  9. Serve hot and enjoy!
