ULTIMATE CHICKEN SPAGHETTI



Ultimate Chicken Spaghetti image

Provided by Stacey Little | Southern Bite

Time 1h5m

Number Of Ingredients 9

2 pounds frozen boneless skinless chicken breasts
1 (16-ounce) package spaghetti
1 (10-ounce) can Ro*Tel Tomatoes
2 (10.5-ounce) cans cream of mushroom soup
1 (16-ounce) package Velveeta cheese
4 ounces cream cheese
1 teaspoon garlic powder
1 teaspoon onion powder
1 cup shredded sharp cheddar cheese

Steps:

  • Place the chicken in a large pot and just cover with water. Cook over medium-low heat until cooked through. Try not to boil the chicken as it can make it tough. Allow to cool enough to handle, then shred using two forks.
  • Preheat the oven to 350°F. Lightly grease a 13x9-inch baking dish with nonstick cooking spray.
  • Cook the pasta according to the package directions. Drain and set aside.
  • In a large pot, combine the Ro*tel with the juice, undiluted cream of mushroom soup, Velveeta cheese, and cream cheese. Heat over low heat, stirring constantly, until the cheeses have melted. Add the garlic powder and onion powder. Add the shredded chicken and cooked spaghetti. Mix well. Pour the mixture into the prepared dish and sprinkle with the shredded cheddar cheese.
  • Bake for 20 to 30 minutes or until heated through and the cheese has melted.

Tips:

  • Use high-quality ingredients for the best flavor. Fresh, organic vegetables and free-range chicken will make a big difference in the final dish.
  • Don't overcrowd the pan when cooking the chicken. This will prevent it from cooking evenly.
  • Be careful not to overcook the chicken. It should be cooked through but still tender and juicy.
  • Season the chicken and vegetables generously. This will help to bring out their flavor.
  • Use a good quality cheddar cheese. A sharp cheddar will give the dish a more intense flavor.
  • Don't be afraid to experiment with different ingredients. You can add other vegetables, such as broccoli or zucchini, or even some cooked bacon.

Conclusion:

Cheddar chicken spaghetti is a quick and easy meal that is perfect for a busy weeknight. It is also a great dish for a potluck or party. The combination of chicken, pasta, vegetables, and cheese is sure to please everyone. So next time you are looking for a delicious and easy meal, give cheddar chicken spaghetti a try.
