Ingredients
Scale
1 lb boneless, skinless chicken breasts
8 oz spaghetti
2 cups marinara sauce
1 cup Monterey jack cheese, shredded
1 cup green bell pepper, diced
1 cup onion, diced
3 cloves garlic, minced
2 tbsp olive oil
Salt and pepper to taste
Fresh parsley, chopped (for garnish)
Instructions
Season the chicken breasts with salt and pepper. Heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Cook the chicken until golden brown, about 5-7 minutes on each side. Remove and let rest.
Cook the spaghetti according to package instructions in boiling salted water until al dente. Drain and set aside.
In the same skillet, add another tablespoon of olive oil if needed. Sauté the garlic, onion, and bell pepper until softened, about 3-5 minutes.
Slice the cooked chicken into bite-sized pieces and return it to the skillet. Pour in the marinara sauce and let it simmer for a few minutes.
Add the cooked spaghetti and mix until coated. Sprinkle the shredded Monterey jack cheese over the top.
Transfer to an oven-safe dish and bake at 350°F (175°C) for about 10 minutes until the cheese is melted and golden brown.
