Steps:
- 1. Cook the Spaghetti pieces until done. In a saucepan or double boiler, mix the soup, milk, and cheese and heat through, till the cheese is melted . In a baking dish, place the spaghetti, chicken and broccoli and pour the soup mixture over top. Bake in a 325 oven for 45 - 60 minutes.
Tips:
- Use cooked chicken: This recipe calls for cooked chicken, so be sure to have some on hand before you start. You can use leftover chicken, rotisserie chicken, or even canned chicken.
- Don't overcook the noodles: Spaghetti noodles should be cooked al dente, or slightly firm to the bite. If you overcook them, they will become mushy and the casserole will be less appealing.
- Use a creamy sauce: A creamy sauce is essential for a rich and flavorful spaghetti chicken casserole. You can use a store-bought Alfredo sauce or make your own using butter, flour, milk, and cream cheese.
- Add vegetables: Vegetables add color, texture, and nutrients to the casserole. Some good options include broccoli, cauliflower, zucchini, and mushrooms.
- Top with cheese: A layer of cheese on top of the casserole is a must. You can use mozzarella, cheddar, Parmesan, or a combination of cheeses.
Conclusion:
Spaghetti chicken casserole is a delicious and easy-to-make dish that is perfect for a weeknight meal. It is also a great way to use up leftover chicken. With its creamy sauce, tender noodles, and cheesy topping, this casserole is sure to be a hit with the whole family.
