Step-by-Step Instructions
- Bring a large pot of salted water to a rolling boil over high heat. Add the spaghetti and cook according to package instructions until al dente, about 8-10 minutes. Drain the pasta in a colander and set it aside.
- In a large skillet, heat olive oil over medium-high heat. Season the diced chicken breasts with paprika, Italian seasoning, salt, and pepper. Cook for 5-7 minutes until golden brown and cooked through. Remove from the skillet and set aside.
- In the same skillet, reduce heat to medium and add butter. Once melted, add chopped yellow onion and sauté for 3-4 minutes until translucent. Stir in minced garlic and cook for an additional 30 seconds.
- Pour chicken broth into the skillet, scraping up any browned bits. Add heavy cream and bring to a simmer, cooking for about 5 minutes until it slightly thickens.
- Return the cooked spaghetti and sautéed chicken to the skillet with the sauce. Toss together until well coated and cook for an additional 2 minutes over low heat.
- Sprinkle shredded Monterey Jack cheese over the pasta. Cover the skillet with a lid and let it sit for 2-3 minutes to allow the cheese to melt.
- Remove the skillet from heat and garnish with chopped parsley. Serve hot with a green salad or garlic bread.

Notes
