Ingredients

Scale

Pasta and Protein

  • 8 oz spaghetti
  • 2 chicken breasts, diced
  • 4 slices smoked turkey bacon, diced

Cheese and Cream

  • 4 oz plant-based cream cheese
  • 1 cup plant-based cheese, shredded

Liquids and Sauces

  • 1 cup chicken broth (natural)
  • 2 tbsp vegetarian Worcestershire sauce (natural)

Spices and Seasonings

  • 1 tsp garlic powder
  • 1 tsp onion powder
  • Salt to taste
  • Black pepper to taste

Instructions

  1. Cook the Spaghetti: Begin by boiling the spaghetti in salted water according to the package instructions until al dente. Drain and set aside, reserving a little pasta water to help loosen the sauce later if needed.
  2. Prepare the Chicken and Bacon: While the pasta cooks, dice the smoked turkey bacon and cook it in a large skillet over medium heat until crispy. Remove and set aside. In the same skillet, cook the diced chicken breasts until fully cooked and golden, seasoning with salt, pepper, garlic powder, and onion powder for maximum flavor.
  3. Make the Creamy Sauce: Lower the heat, add the plant-based cream cheese, shredded plant-based cheese, chicken broth, and vegetarian Worcestershire sauce (natural) to the skillet. Stir continuously until everything melts together into a smooth sauce. Adjust consistency with reserved pasta water if the sauce feels too thick.
  4. Combine Everything: Return the cooked bacon to the skillet and fold in the drained spaghetti. Toss everything gently to coat the pasta evenly with the creamy chicken sauce. Let it cook together for another 2-3 minutes so the flavors mingle perfectly.
  5. Serve Warm and Enjoy: Plate the Crack Chicken Spaghetti immediately while it’s warm and creamy. Add a sprinkle of fresh herbs or extra plant-based cheese on top if desired.

Notes

  • Use smoked turkey bacon for a smoky flavor without heaviness.
  • Don’t overcook pasta; keep it al dente to avoid mushiness.
  • Reserve pasta water to adjust and thin the sauce as needed.
  • Cut chicken into uniform pieces for even cooking and consistent texture.
  • Taste sauce before adding extra salt because vegetarian Worcestershire sauce (natural) provides umami.
