preparation:
-
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Lightly oil a baking dish to prevent sticking and make cleanup easier.
-
Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Add spaghetti noodles and cook until al dente, following package instructions. Drain and set aside to cool slightly.
-
In a medium bowl, combine softened cream cheese, 2 cups of mozzarella cheese, Parmesan cheese, shredded chicken, half and half, oregano, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and pepper. Mix until creamy and fully incorporated.
-
Spread half of the cooked spaghetti evenly into the greased baking dish. Top with half of the cheesy sauce mixture to create the first layer.
-
Add another layer of spaghetti noodles on top of the first layer. Spread the remaining cheesy sauce mixture evenly over the second layer of spaghetti.
-
Sprinkle the remaining 1 cup of grated mozzarella cheese evenly over the top.
-
Cover the baking dish with foil and bake for 30 minutes, or until heated through and bubbling.
-
Remove the foil and switch the oven to broil. Broil for 2–4 minutes until the cheese topping is golden brown and bubbly. Watch closely to avoid burning.
-
Remove the dish from the oven and let it cool slightly. Garnish with fresh parsley, if desired. Serve warm and enjoy!
