Time 1h10m

Yield 4

Number Of Ingredients 9

1/2 lb uncooked spaghetti, broken in half
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/2 lb boneless skinless chicken breasts, cut into bite-size pieces
2 cups Progresso™ chicken broth (from 32-oz carton)
8 oz cream cheese, cut in 1-inch pieces, softened
6 slices bacon, crisply cooked and crumbled
1/2 cup shredded Parmesan cheese (2 oz)
1/2 cup Progresso™ Italian style panko crispy bread crumbs
2 tablespoons butter, melted

Steps:

  • Heat oven to 400°F. Spray 8-inch square (2-quart) baking dish with cooking spray. Spread spaghetti evenly in dish; set aside.
  • Sprinkle salt over chicken. In 12-inch nonstick skillet, cook chicken over medium-high heat 4 to 5 minutes, turning once, until browned. Add broth and cream cheese. Reduce heat to medium; heat to simmering. Stir constantly 1 to 2 minutes, breaking up cream cheese pieces, until combined. Mixture may appear grainy but will become smooth during baking.
  • Pour chicken mixture over pasta in dish; stir. Cover tightly with foil. Bake 28 to 30 minutes or until noodles are soft and inside of chicken is no longer pink. Stir mixture.
  • Meanwhile, in medium bowl, mix bacon, Parmesan cheese, bread crumbs and melted butter. Sprinkle evenly over baked pasta mixture. Bake 8 to 10 minutes longer or until bread crumbs are golden brown and cheese is melted. Serve immediately.
