This Cheesy Garlic Chicken Spaghetti is quick and easy, and made all in one-pot! Delicious pasta and juicy grilled chicken is mixed with a cheesy garlic sauce and ready in 10 minutes!
A typical weeknight at our house probably looks a bit “zoo-like” to the casual observer. Two kids and a bulldog running around, laundry piled up on the couch, soccer equipment scattered on the floor, dishes piled up on the counter from a day of blogging (and all of the eating we do), homework waiting to be done…. it can get a little crazy!
On those kind of nights where everyone in our house is busy, tired, and hungry, a dinner that’s both quick and easy is a must! Well y’all, if your household is anything like mine and you’re looking for an easy dinner idea, then you are in luck! Today’s recipe is all of those things and it’s yummy to boot!
I actually came up with this recipe a few months ago and have been meaning to post it here ever since. As I was planning what to make for dinner the night before I ran my first half-marathon back in April, I decided that my meal needed some pasta, chicken, and a sauce that wasn’t too heavy. I was thrilled with how it turned out (and how it helped me power through my race!), and I have been making it ever since, especially on busy nights when I just want a quick and tasty dinner that my kids enjoy, too.
To make this recipe even quicker than usual, I used the new Barilla Pronto Spaghetti which is a one-pot, no boil, no drain pasta that cooks in under 10 minutes! I paired it with Tyson Grilled and Ready Chicken Breast Strips which are already fully-cooked, 98% fat free, and have no preservatives. I found both of these quick and easy ingredients at my local Walmart store.
All you have to do is cook a few cloves of garlic, add in some chicken broth, milk, and the Barilla Pronto Pasta and let it cook. Once most of the liquid is absorbed, add in your Tyson Grilled and Ready Chicken Breast Strips along with some shredded cheese. Stir it all up and allow the chicken to cook a bit, and then voila! An easy, peasy, yummy dinner in 10 minutes!
With all of that extra time saved, I was able to help my son with his homework and I got an extra load of laundry folded! Whoo hoo, more room on my couch! 😉

One of my go-to meals now! Super easy and delicious, tastes even better the second day 🙂
This is SOOOOO Good! I did add some frozen baby spinach while the pasta was cooking. Excellent!
The Monterey Jack cheese is a nice variation is nice way to change things up.
I love variety on my pasta and this just looks amazing!
I was trying to come up with a meal for dinner. I think I found it!
This sounds delicous — and something my family would love! Bookmarking this recipe to make later.
I love a good one pot meal!! this looks amazing! totally have to make it this week 🙂
My crew is almost all against cheese, will the broth and milk thicken up? 😳
You can add cornstarch or a smidge of flour to thicken. Same here my little ones despise cheese
What an easy and delicious dish!! I added about 1/2 c more chicken base/water than the recipe calls for and it turned out wonderfully.
This sounds SO good. I love one pot meals.
Spaghetti is one of the dishes I can never resist! This dish seems wonderful.
You just made me hungry!
I wish I had this dish in front of me tonight! I love that it’s easy to put together!
This is exactly the type of dinner my family goes crazy over. Can’t wait to make it.
I used an extra cup of stock and protein Barilla pasta. It was delicious.
Made this tonight with a few modifications. I doubled the recipe and used regular thin spaghetti and used cheddar cheese. It was amazing! Will be making again!
Did you precook the regular pasta or did you follow the recipe and cook it all together without draining?
How did you cook the noodles? Per recipe or boil noodles first?
