Ingredients
  

2 cups cooked spaghetti

1 pound boneless, skinless chicken breasts, diced

1 can (10 oz) Rotel tomatoes with green chilies

1 cup cream cheese, softened

1 cup shredded cheddar cheese

1 small onion, diced

2 cloves garlic, minced

1 teaspoon olive oil

1 teaspoon paprika

1 teaspoon chili powder

Salt and pepper, to taste

Fresh cilantro or parsley, for garnish (optional)

Instructions
 

Cook the Chicken: Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add diced chicken, onion, garlic, paprika, chili powder, salt, and pepper. Cook until the chicken is no longer pink and cooked through, about 5-7 minutes.

    Add Rotel: Stir in the can of Rotel (with juices) and simmer for another 5 minutes, allowing the flavors to meld.

      Incorporate Cream Cheese: Add the softened cream cheese to the skillet. Stir until the cream cheese is completely melted and integrated into the sauce.

        Combine with Spaghetti: Gently fold in the cooked spaghetti, ensuring that all the noodles are coated in the creamy sauce.

          Add Cheese: Sprinkle shredded cheddar cheese on top of the spaghetti mixture. Stir until the cheese is melted and everything is well combined.

            Serve: Remove from heat, and if desired, garnish with fresh cilantro or parsley before serving.
