Creamy spaghetti chicken recipe, anyone? This one makes cooking from scratch feel like an absolute breeze and is actually incredibly budget-friendly too. With that smoky, sweet and creamy tomato sauce, who could possibly turn this one down?
CREAMY SPAGHETTI WITH CHICKEN RECIPE – YET ANOTHER 30 MINUTE WONDER THAT ABSOLUTELY ANYONE CAN PULL OFF. IT IS CREAMY, SWEET, SMOKY AND OF COURSE, GLUTEN-FREE AND COELIAC-FRIENDLY AS ALWAYS.
This rich and creamy chicken spaghetti recipe is the epitome of quick comfort food. Ready in just 30 minutes, it is ideal for busy weeknights.
The tangy, cheesy, and creamy BBQ sauce complements the tender chicken pieces and spaghetti, making it a real taste sensation.
This Creamy Spaghetti Chicken in Barbecue Sauce is my current favourite dish, and I have a hunch you will fall in love with it too! It is super easy to make, and oh-so-flavourful!
This is exactly the kind of family friendly meal that I both crave and rely on from week to week. It is such a nice spin on your average spaghetti in tomato sauce dish– something which we end up eating far too often due to a general lack of cooking inspiration!
Whilst super simple in its execution, its bold flavours and ability to please whoever is around the table is very hard to match. Plus, using a bunch of store-cupboard ingredients, this recipe is super affordable and serves 4 without breaking the bank.
Cream cheese adds a wonderful creamy finish that brings the final dish together.
Extra mature cheddar: This is just for a finishing touch so feel free to use whatever grated cheese you prefer.

Points to Remember *Seasoning the chicken is a must, it is one of the main ingredients so needs to shine. As it will inject more flavour into the sauce. * The star ingredient is the barbecue sauce, so make sure it is a good quality sauce if you are using readymade market sauce. *Use olive oil for better taste and results. *Adjust the quantity of chilli sauce according to your taste.
