Creamy Chicken Spaghetti
1/2 lb spaghetti, uncooked (I used whole wheat whole grain thin spaghetti and it was delicious)
1/4 cup light Italian dressing (I used the Kraft Tuscan House Italian I had on hand)
1 lb boneless skinless chicken breasts, cut into 1-inch pieces
2 zucchini, cut in half lenthwise, then sliced crosswise (I used one huge zucchini)
2 cups spaghetti sauce
4 oz cream cheese (or neufchatel cheese), cubed
Parmesan cheese
Cook spaghetti as directed on package.
Meanwhile, heat dressing in large nonstick skillet on medium-high heat. Add chicken; cook and stir 2 min. Add zucchini; cook an additional 2 min., stirring frequently. Stir in spaghetti sauce. Bring just to boil, stirring occasionally. Reduce heat to medium-low; simmer 5 min. or until chicken is cooked through. Add Neufchatel; cook 1 min. or until cheese is melted and mixture is well blended, stirring occasionally.
Drain spaghetti; place on serving plate. Top with the chicken mixture; sprinkle with Parmesan cheese. (I just combined the drained spaghetti in the skillet with the chicken mixture and passed Parmesan cheese at the table. Less dishes!)

This sounds really good! I love the twist on spaghetti, but keeping it simple. Can't wait to benefit from someone else's garden (hint hint Kristi) and make this!
I will give you some zucchini in the morning after our run!!
This sounds so good and I've been needing zucchini recipes! I will have to add this to my menu this week!
I made this a couple nights ago and it was so good and so easy! My kids liked it (except the zuchinni - they are picky) and then the missionaries came over later that night and had the leftovers and kept giving me enthusiastic thumbs up because they liked it so much!
I made this tonight and it's definitely a keeper. It definitely "stirred the pot" for our dinner conversation. Some people liked the zucchini, some didn't. But, it was a hit and I'm definitely going to make it again!
