Put 3 cups of cooked chicken into a pot of water with salt, pepper, chicken broth, garlic, and onion.

Bring to a boil and let cook for about 50 minutes to an hour until the chicken is cooked through.

Remove the chicken and shred it.

In a pot, melt 3 tablespoons of butter to make a roux.

Add 1/4 cup of flour to the melted butter and stir until it forms a paste.

Slowly whisk in 1.5 cups of milk, heating the milk in the microwave beforehand to avoid cooling the pot.

Season the mixture with salt, pepper, and ranch dressing mix.

Pour in 6-7 cups of chicken broth made from cooking the chicken.

Add chopped carrots, spaghetti, cream cheese, and the shredded chicken back into the pot.

Bring the mixture to a simmer, then reduce heat to low and cover.

Cook until the spaghetti is done, stirring occasionally.
