• total tid: 30-40mins

Ingredienser

12 oz spaghetti

2 cups cooked chicken (shredded or diced)

1½ cups corn kernels (fresh, canned, or frozen)

Salt, black pepper, garlic powder, onion powder

2 tbsp olive oil

Instruktioner

Cook the spaghetti:

Boil spaghetti in salted water until al dente. Drain and set aside.

Prepare the base:

In a large skillet, heat olive oil and butter over medium heat. Add garlic and sauté for about 1 minute until fragrant.

Build the creamy sauce:

Pour in heavy cream and milk, stirring gently. Add cream cheese and whisk until fully melted and smooth. Let it simmer for 3–4 minutes.

Add the cheese:

Stir in mozzarella and parmesan until the sauce becomes rich and velvety. Season with salt, pepper, garlic powder, and onion powder to taste.

Bring it all together:

Add chicken, corn, and cooked spaghetti to the skillet. Toss everything well so the sauce coats every strand. Let it heat through for 2–3 minutes.

Serve & enjoy:

Finish with fresh parsley and a sprinkle of chili flakes if you like a little kick. Serve warm and creamy!

Why It Works:

The cream cheese gives the sauce that ultra-smooth, slightly tangy richness, while the corn adds little pops of sweetness that balance the savory chicken perfectly. It’s creamy, comforting, and just a little bit addictive. 😌🧀🌽
