Che Buono Chicken Spaghetti
with Grape Tomatoes & Italian Herbs
- Wheat
- Milk
Our chefs have dreamed up the pasta equivalent of an Italian serenade, and it hits all the right notes. Al dente spaghetti is tossed with sautéed tomatoes and a garlicky, Italian herb-infused cream sauce. Of course, it wouldn’t be pasta night without plenty of Parmigiana; some gets stirred into the sauce, while the rest is sprinkled over top for a decadent garnish. Now that’s amore!

Cooking Steps
• Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Wash and dry all produce. • Halve tomatoes lengthwise. Trim and thinly slice scallions, separating whites from greens. Peel and mince or grate garlic.
• Pat chicken* dry with paper towels and season all over with half the Italian Seasoning (you’ll use the rest later), salt, and pepper. • Heat a large drizzle of olive oil in a large pan over medium-high heat. Add chicken and cook, stirring, until browned and cooked through, 4-6 minutes. • Turn off heat; transfer chicken to a plate. Wipe out pan.
• Once water is boiling, add spaghetti to pot. Cook until al dente, 9-11 minutes (you’ll start the tomatoes after 5 minutes). • Reserve 1 cup pasta cooking water, then drain well.
• Once spaghetti has cooked 5 minutes, melt 2 TBSP butter (4 TBSP for 4 servings) in pan used for chicken over medium-high heat. Add tomatoes, scallion whites, and garlic; cook until garlic and scallions are softened and fragrant, 1-2 minutes. TIP: If mixture begins to brown too quickly, reduce heat to medium.
• Reduce heat under pan with tomato mixture to medium. Add cream sauce base and remaining Italian Seasoning. TIP: Cut top off cream sauce base carton to open fully; transfer contents, using a spoon or spatula to scrape sauce from carton sides. • Stir in cream cheese and bring to a simmer; cook until melted and combined. Season with salt and pepper.
• Add drained spaghetti and chicken to pan with sauce; stir until coated and creamy, adding splashes of reserved pasta cooking water as needed. Stir in half the Parmesan and season with salt and pepper. • Divide chicken spaghetti between bowls. Sprinkle with scallion greens and remaining Parmesan and serve.

Reviews from our home cooks
This pasta dish changed my life! I love the seasoned chicken with creamy buttery sauce. The tomatoes cut the richness and adds a brightness to each bite!
This pasta dish was very good. The creamy sauce was flavorful and was a good texture. The tomatoes added good flavor to the chicken.
The al dente spaghetti, covered with freshly cooked tomatoes mixed with the dish's secret spices, makes this one of the top five meals we love the most! It is not the same without an order of garlic bread.
This dish was easy and reminded me of ordering pasta from a restaurant. I would say that the chicken could've been in more of a strip form rather than minced and I really love love cheesy creamy pastas so an extra parmesan packet would've been supreme. The tomatoes were such a nice touch, it melted down and was so sweet and delicate.
Vern doesn't care for the texture of cooked tomatoes, so I used half of them and they went onto my plate. I added a diced poblano pepper to add some texture and spice and only used 1/2 of the spaghetti. The unused tomatoes will be good in a salad. HF orders that call for any pasta include twice as much as should be used. End product was very good and easy to cook. Will do again!
It was sooo surprisingly delicious! I would pick this meal again and again. It was my first time with chicken in my spaghetti. So good. Thank you for sharing this recipe with top notch ingredients.
We accidentally used all of the Italian seasoning with the chicken AND we didn't wipe the pan after cooking the chicken and it still turned out SOOOOOOOO good. I'm telling ya, this hit the spot. CREAMY. Do you guys design these recipes to be mistake-proof or something? Well done!
Great meal but I only used 1⁄2 Italian seasoning to chicken and added fresh basil from my garden to the sauce. Even my 12 yr old grandson thought it was amazing
Oh, this was so good! I added extra pasta, thinking it was too little, but the pasta portion included was perfect. Recommend changing to sun-dried rather than fresh grape tomatoes.
Another dish with too few tomatoes:(. Lots of noodles. Didn't use the cream cheese, liked/would use more parmesan cheese since dish still needed added salt to eat. Thank goodness for the Italian seasoning:)👍
