Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
Cook the spaghetti noodles according to the package instructions. Drain and set aside.
Dice the chicken breasts into bite-sized pieces and season lightly with salt and pepper.
Heat the vegetable oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the chicken and cook until browned and fully cooked, about 5-7 minutes. Remove from skillet and set aside.
In the same skillet, add sesame oil, garlic, and ginger. Sauté for 1-2 minutes until fragrant.
Add the sliced green bell pepper, carrot, and bean sprouts to the skillet. Cook for 3-4 minutes until the vegetables are slightly tender.
In a small bowl, whisk together the soy sauce, hoisin sauce, chicken broth, cornstarch, and water until smooth. Pour the mixture into the skillet and stir well.
Return the cooked chicken to the skillet, mix in the green onions, and allow the sauce to thicken, about 2-3 minutes.
Add the cooked spaghetti to the skillet and toss until evenly coated with the sauce and mixed with the vegetables and chicken.
Transfer the mixture to a greased 9x13-inch baking dish. Top evenly with the shredded cheddar cheese.
Bake in the preheated oven for 10-12 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and bubbly.
Remove from the oven and let cool for 5 minutes before serving.
Serve hot and enjoy your Chinese Chicken Chow Bake!
