    Electric Skillet Spaghetti

    Jump to Recipe
    Electric skillet spaghetti with chicken on plate and text overlay that says 'electric skillet spaghetti'.

    This electric skillet spaghetti with golden chicken breast cubes and Parmesan cheese is creamy, flavorful and delicious. It is made entirely in one pan, including the spaghetti noodles.

    What do you do when you're short on time, short on stove space, and short on patience? 

    Enter the lauded one pot electric skillet noodles. It's creamy and filling like my creamy tomato gnocchi, electric skillet mac and cheese pasta and lemon garlic basil pasta. Even something as delicious as chicken Alfredo with spaghetti can be prepared in a single pan without compromising its flavor, saving you time while not skimping on the flavor.

    It only uses a single skillet from start to finish. If you don't have one yet, check out my reviews for the best electric skillet in general, the best ceramic electric skillet or the best stainless steel electric skillet. I also have a tutorial for how to clean an electric skillet when you're all finished.

    Ingredients

    • chicken breast - Boneless and skinless.
    • unsalted butter - You can use salted butter but it could get a little salty depending on your chicken broth.
    • chicken broth - I use the regular store-bought chicken broth but you could also use homemade or the cubes dissolved in water.
    • spaghetti - You could even use other types of noodles like fettucine or linguine.
    • cream - I use half n half (10%).
    • Parmesan - I like to use freshly grated cheese for this recipe and haven't tried it with the pre-grated cheese.
    • fresh basil - This is optional.

    *Check recipe card for full ingredient amounts.

    How to Make Electric Skillet Spaghetti

    1. Cut the chicken breasts into 1-inch pieces. Season with salt and pepper.
    2. Melt the butter in the electric skillet at 350°F. Add the chicken and sauté for 5 mins. Add the garlic and sauté for another 30 seconds.
    3. Add the chicken broth and scrape the bottom of the pan to loosen up any caramelized bits.
    4. Add the spaghetti noodles. Cover and simmer until the pasta has softened, about 15 minutes.
    5. Lower the temperature to 250°F. Add the cream and the Parmesan and cook for 2-3 more minutes.
    6. Serve immediately with the basil garnish (if using) and extra Parmesan cheese at the table.

    Joss' Tips

    • If you don't have a 12" electric skillet or larger, you can use any other kind of shorter pasta like penne, rotini or simply break the spaghetti noodles in half when adding them to the skillet.
    • If using a skillet larger than 12", the broth may evaporate quicker, so keep an eye on the levels, adding more if needed.

    Storage & Reheating

    • Leftover spaghetti can be stored in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 3 to 4 days.
    • Reheat in the skillet or in a pot on the stove over medium heat. It can also be microwaved in a microwave-safe dish.
