Indulge in the comforting embrace of creamy chicken and cheese tonight - a dish that brings warmth and flavor to your dinner table!

1

Begin by preheating your oven to 180 degrees Celsius (350 degrees Fahrenheit).

2

In a pot of salted boiling water, cook the spaghetti according to the package instructions until al dente, usually around 8-10 minutes. Drain and set aside.

3

While the pasta is cooking, heat the olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add minced garlic and sauté for 1-2 minutes until fragrant.

4

Add diced chicken breast to the skillet and season with salt and black pepper. Cook for about 5-7 minutes or until the chicken is browned and fully cooked through.

5

Stir in the spinach and let it wilt for about 2-3 minutes.

6

Lower the heat and add the cream cheese and half of the cheddar cheese to the skillet, stirring to combine until the cheeses are melted and creamy.

7

Add the cooked spaghetti to the skillet and gently toss everything together to coat the pasta in the sauce.

8

Transfer the mixture into a baking dish and top with the remaining cheddar cheese.

9

Bake in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes, or until the top is golden and bubbling.

10

Once done, let it cool for a few minutes before serving to allow the dish to set a bit.
