Ingredients

8 servings
  • 2 teaspoons olive oil
  • 2 teaspoons butter
  • 2 tablespoons all purpose flour
  • Two 12-ounce cans 2% evaporated milk
  • 1 cup shredded Monterey Jack cheese
  • ½ cup shredded Parmesan cheese
  • 1 tablespoon chopped fresh thyme
  • 1 medium lemon, (juice and zest)
  • salt and pepper, (to taste)
  • 14.5 ounces spaghetti, (cooked until al dente)
  • 1 teaspoon olive oil
  • 2 medium garlic cloves
  • 2 cups fresh broccoli florets
  • 1 large carrot, (peeled & chopped)
  • 1 large yellow bell pepper, (chopped or thinly sliced)
  • 2 cups cooked and chopped chicken breast
  • 1½ cups halved cherry tomatoes
  • salt and pepper, (to taste)
  • ½ cup shredded Monterey Jack cheese
  • ¼ cup shredded Parmesan cheese
  • ½ medium lemon, (juiced)

Steps

  1. Preheat the oven to 400℉. Spray a 9x13-inch baking pan with nonstick spray.

  2. Heat olive oil and butter in a medium skillet over medium heat. Whisk in the flour and stir until lightly browned. Slowly whisk in the milk. Keep whisking until the milk is warmed and has thickened slightly. Whisk in the cheeses, thyme, lemon zest/juice and salt and pepper. Set aside for later.

  3. While the spaghetti is cooking, prepare the vegetables.  In a very large, nonstick skillet heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the garlic and stir for 1 minute. Add broccoli, carrot, and bell pepper. Stir and cook until slightly softened, 4 to 5 minutes. Turn off the heat. Add spaghetti to the skillet and gently toss the vegetables with the spaghetti. Add the chicken, and then add the sauce. Toss to combine. Transfer the pasta-vegetable mixture to the prepared baking pan, spread the cut tomatoes on top, and sprinkle with salt and pepper. Cover the pan with foil. Bake for 30 minutes. Remove the foil and sprinkle cheeses on top. Squeeze the juice from 1/2 lemon on top of the cheeses. Return to the oven and bake until the cheeses are melted and the tomatoes are wilted- about 10 minutes.

  4. Scoop into dishes and serve immediately.
