What To Make With Chicken And Spaghetti Noodles?

A creamy, comforting casserole that is ideal for chilly nights is chicken spaghetti with Rotel. For a complete meal, serve with a large green salad on the side.

Always and forever, tomato sauce and ground beef are used to make spaghetti. My mama told me so. (Have you tried my one pot spaghetti yet?).

However, after taking a bite of that creamy, dreamy, and oh-so-cheesy chicken spaghetti bake, I became hooked.

I hope you give it a try if you haven’t already. It’s surprisingly tasty, so cheesy and creamy, and if you ask me, just about perfect.

If you don’t like spicy food, the Ro*tel adds a tiny bit of kick, but nothing to worry about. My wimpy daughter ate this just fine. .

HOW TO MAKE THE BEST CHICKEN SPAGHETTI:

Preheat oven to 350f degrees. Spray a 9×13 baking dish with nonstick cooking spray. Observe the directions on the package when cooking the pasta, but only use half the box. ).

Once pasta is cooked, drain well. Place pasta back into the pot (with heat turned off). Add 1 cup of the Mexican cheese blend, taco seasoning, salsa, sour cream, cream of chicken soup, and diced chicken. Stir well to combine (this will take a few minutes. ).

Pour combined mixture into your prepared baking dish. Top with remaining cheese and a sprinkling of dried parsley.

Cook in the oven for about 25 minutes. Then enjoy!

Put any size or shape of leftover spaghetti in freezer-safe baking dishes! Cover with plastic wrap and foil or a tight-fitting lid. To prevent mushy pasta, I advise completely defrosting before reheating. Reheat in the oven or on the stove covered with a little water, broth, or cream.

Does it get any better than that, I mean, tender spaghetti noodles, juicy chicken, onion, and pepper tossed together in a rich and creamy spiced sauce made with melted cheddar cheese? I don’t think so. .

With spaghetti noodles, tender chicken bites, and vegetables covered in a chili-spiced cheddar cheese cream sauce, this Chicken Spaghetti makes the ideal quick, simple, family-friendly meal.

This beloved family recipe uses only real ingredients; there is no velveeta cheese, cream of chicken soup, or cream of mushroom soup included.

The whole family will enjoy this chicken pasta dinner. And bonus: it’s ready in just over 30 minutes!.

How to make easy chicken spaghetti:

I’m not against Velveeta, which is used in many chicken spaghetti recipes, but I prefer this with a homemade cheese sauce. Don’t panic though – this is EASY.

You simply need to whisk some flour into some melted butter in a sauce pan. Let that cook for a minute or so.

About five minutes later, whisk in some milk and continue stirring and heating the sauce.

Turn off the heat and stir in the cream cheese and grated cheddar until a smooth, creamy sauce is formed. I whisk in my spices here as well.

Told you the cheese sauce was easy!

The next step is to add some cooked spaghetti, cooked, shredded chicken, Ro*Tel, and cheese sauce to a large bowl.

Mix everything together, then transfer the mixture to a 913 casserole.

Add a little extra cheddar on top to finish the dish; you can never have too much cheese, right?

This should be baked until it is bubbling, hot, and oh so cheesy.

You can have this for dinner along with a large salad dressed with ranch dressing. Right now, I wish there was another plate of this in front of me. .
