I’ve made this and it’s really good. I’ve never made it with the Italian dressing though so I think that would be a good kick. I know chicken and spaghetti sound funny together but my mom used to bake the chicken in spaghetti and it was sooooo good. Maybe it was a thing of the time because I don’t know anyone else who does it but me.
