Step‑by‑Step Instructions
- Begin by bringing a large pot of salted water to a rolling boil. Once boiling, add spaghetti and cook according to package instructions until al dente, about 8-10 minutes. Drain and set aside.
- In a large skillet over medium heat, pour olive oil and let it heat. Season chicken with salt and pepper, then place in the skillet. Cook for 5-7 minutes on each side until golden brown and fully cooked through. Remove chicken, let rest, and slice.
- Using the same skillet, add onions and garlic, cooking for 2-3 minutes until onions become translucent and fragrant.
- Pour in chicken broth and bring to a gentle simmer, cooking for about 3 minutes. Then, reduce heat and add heavy cream and shredded Monterey Jack cheese, stirring until cheese melts.
- Next, stir in cherry tomatoes and spinach. Cook for another 3-4 minutes, until spinach wilts and tomatoes soften.
- Add sliced chicken and cooked spaghetti to the skillet. Gently toss everything together until pasta is well-coated with sauce.
- Taste and adjust seasoning with salt and pepper. Plate the spaghetti, sprinkle with Parmesan cheese if desired, and garnish with parsley or cilantro.

Notes
For best practices, check chicken temperature to ensure it reaches 165°F. Aim for al dente spaghetti and consider using fresh vegetables for flavor.
