• Garlic cloves – Infuses the sauce with aromatic depth.

How To Make the Creamy Velveeta Chicken Spaghetti with Mozzarella Garlic Cheese Sauce

Step 1: Prepare the Pasta Base

Cook the spaghetti according to package instructions until al dente. Drain and set aside, reserving a small cup of pasta water.

Step 2: Sauté the Garlic

In a large skillet or saucepan, melt butter over medium heat. Add minced garlic cloves and sauté until fragrant, about 1–2 minutes.

Step 3: Create the Velveeta Sauce

Pour in chicken broth and milk, then add cubed Velveeta cheese. Stir continuously until the cheese melts completely, creating a smooth sauce.

Step 4: Combine with Chicken

Add the cooked chicken breast (shredded or cubed) into the sauce, allowing it to heat through and soak up the flavors.

Step 5: Add the Pasta

Toss the cooked spaghetti into the skillet, coating every strand in the cheesy garlic sauce. If needed, add a splash of reserved pasta water to loosen the sauce.

Step 6: Finish with Mozzarella

Sprinkle shredded mozzarella over the top. Reduce the heat to low, cover, and let the cheese melt into gooey perfection before serving.
