Step-by-Step Instructions
- Begin by bringing a large pot of salted water to a rolling boil. Add the spaghetti and cook according to the package instructions until al dente, usually around 8–10 minutes. Once cooked, drain the spaghetti in a colander and set it aside.
- In a large mixing bowl, combine the shredded cooked chicken with diced tomatoes, barbecue sauce, garlic powder, and salt and pepper. Stir well until all ingredients are evenly coated and blended together.
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a 9x13 inch baking dish and spread the drained spaghetti evenly across the base.
- Pour the chicken and barbecue sauce mixture over the layer of spaghetti in the baking dish and spread it evenly.
- Sprinkle the shredded Monterey Jack cheese generously over the mixture.
- Place your assembled dish in the preheated oven and bake for 20–25 minutes until the cheese is melted and bubbly.
- Remove the dish from the oven and let it cool for a few minutes. Garnish with chopped green onions and fresh parsley before serving.

Notes
Marinate shredded chicken in barbecue sauce a few hours ahead for more flavor. Ensure even distribution of chicken mixture over spaghetti for best results.
