Ingredients

Scale
  • 1.5 lbs chicken breast, sliced
  • 1 cup mozzarella cheese, shredded (for crusting)
  • 1 cup Parmesan cheese, grated (for crusting)
  • 8 cloves garlic, minced
  • 12 oz spaghetti
  • 1 cup heavy cream
  • 6 oz cream cheese, softened
  • Salt and black pepper to taste
  • Fresh basil and parsley for garnish

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven's broiler.
  2. Cook spaghetti according to package instructions until al dente. Reserve half a cup of pasta water before draining.
  3. In a bowl, combine mozzarella and Parmesan cheeses with Italian seasoning and garlic powder. Season chicken with salt and pepper, then coat each piece with the cheese mixture.

  6. In the same skillet, melt remaining butter over medium heat; add garlic from earlier and sauté briefly. Stir in heavy cream and cream cheese until smooth.
  7. Mix in mozzarella and Parmesan until melted. Add reserved pasta water to reach desired consistency.
  8. Serve spaghetti topped with chicken and drizzle sauce over everything; garnish with fresh herbs.
