Healthy Chicken Spaghetti

Healthy Chicken Spaghetti is an updated version of my favorite cheesy chicken spaghetti from childhood, and SO delicious! Instead of using canned cream of mushroom, I make an easy homemade version, and mix it with sautéed veggies, whole-wheat spaghetti, plenty of shredded chicken, and of course, lots of cheese. The perfect back-to-school meal!
