Ingredients
•
1 pound spaghetti

1 small yellow onion, diced
•
3 skinless, boneless chicken breast halves, cut into bite-size pieces, or more to taste
•
1 (10 3/4 ounce) can cream of mushroom soup
•
1 (10 ounce) can diced tomatoes with green chile peppers
•
1/2 cup shredded Colby-Monterey Jack cheese
Directions
1
Bring a large pot of lightly salted water to a boil. Cook spaghetti in boiling water, stirring occasionally, until tender yet firm to the bite, about 12 minutes. Drain.
2
Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).
3
Heat olive oil in an oven-proof skillet over medium heat; cook and stir garlic until fragrant, about 1 minute. Add onion; cook and stir until onion begins to soften, about 2 minutes. Add chicken; cook and stir until chicken is no longer pink in the center, about 5 minutes.
4
Mix cream of mushroom soup and diced tomatoes with green chile peppers into chicken mixture. Mix spaghetti into chicken mixture and top with Colby-Monterey Jack cheese.
5
Place the skillet in the preheated oven and bake until cheese is melted and slightly brown, 15 to 20 minutes.
