Ingredients
- 3-4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts (about 1.5 lbs)
- 8 oz spaghetti
- 2 cups shredded sharp cheddar cheese
- 1 cup fresh bell peppers (chopped)

Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a large casserole dish.
- In a large pot, cook the chicken over medium heat for about 6-7 minutes per side, until golden and cooked through.
- While the chicken is cooking, boil salted water in a separate pot and cook the spaghetti until al dente, about 8-10 minutes. Drain and set aside.
- In a mixing bowl, combine the shredded chicken, cooked spaghetti, cream of chicken soup, chopped bell peppers, paprika, cayenne pepper, garlic powder, and half of the cheddar cheese. Mix until well combined.
- Transfer the mixture to the greased casserole dish and top with the remaining cheddar cheese.
