ROTEL CHICKEN



Rotel Chicken image

Would you like a yummy spiced up dish? This dish is what you're looking for then! So creamy and delicious with the spice of Rotel tomatoes! I seasoned the chicken with garlic salt, cracked black pepper and Lawry's seasoned salt! I also added some minced garlic to the onions while they were sauteing! The velveeta and tomatoes...

Provided by Kathy Cromer

Categories     Pasta

Number Of Ingredients 6

2 c cooked chicken, shredded
3/4 c chicken broth
10 oz diced rotel tomatoes with green chilies
8 oz spaghetti noodles
1 small onion, chopped and sauteed in butter
16 oz velveeta cheese

Steps:

  • 1. Cook chicken your desired method. I used tenderloin pieces cooked in butter and extra virgin olive oil seasoned with spices mentioned above then shredded it. Saute onions in butter. Cook noodles according to directions. Melt Velveeta and Rotel in microwave until smooth. Add cheese/Rotel mixture to cooked noodles along with broth, chicken and onions. Mix well. Place in a greased 9x12 oblong glass casserole dish. Bake at 350 degrees for 20 minutes. Let stand 15-20 minutes before serving.

Tips:

  • Use a large skillet to ensure the chicken and vegetables have enough space to cook evenly.
  • Don't overcrowd the skillet, or the chicken will steam instead of brown.
  • Season the chicken generously with salt and pepper before cooking.
  • Cook the chicken over medium-high heat until it is browned on all sides and cooked through.
  • Add the vegetables and cook until they are tender-crisp.
  • Stir in the Rotel tomatoes and green chiles and simmer for 15 minutes, or until the sauce has thickened.
  • Serve the Chicken Rotel over rice, pasta, or your favorite side dish.

Conclusion:

Chicken Rotel is a quick and easy dish that is perfect for a weeknight meal. It is also a great recipe to use up leftover chicken. The dish is flavorful and versatile, and it can be easily customized to your liking. For example, you can add different vegetables, such as bell peppers, corn, or black beans. You can also adjust the heat level by using a different type of Rotel tomatoes, such as mild, medium, or hot. No matter how you make it, Chicken Rotel is sure to be a hit with your family and friends.
