Don't use the thinner spaghetti and cook a minute or two less if you usually like your pasta al dente! Oh my goodness... A fellow RN brought this to work once. I have been asking her for TWO YEARS for the recipe and have searched and searched the internet. Finally she emailed it to me! This one dish meal is so freaking good!!!!! Don't be afraid of the ingredients , just try it! Your family will probably fight over the leftovers!

Steps:
- In a large skillet or cooking pot, saute bell pepper and onion in oleo (or olive oil if you prefer).
- Add 1 can of chicken broth and chicken. Simmer until tender. Cut chicken into bite-size pieces as it's cooking. Use 3 cups of chicken. (I've used packaged chicken tenderloins, as well as pre-cooked chicken from the deli. Whatever is convenient. It's all good.).
- Add all soups and Ro-tel tomatoes. Stir well. Simmer for about 15 minutes until chicken is done.
- Cook the spaghetti in boiling water or chicken broth until just slightly cooked "al dente" - you don't want to over-cook it because it will be cooking more in the oven. Drain, rinse, and set aside until you are ready to mix with chicken/sauce ingredients in baking dish for the oven.
- In a large baking dish or oven-proof pot, place the cooked and cut up chicken, cooked spaghetti, salt and pepper, cheese, and soup mixture.
- Depending on how creamy you like this dish, you may want to add extra chicken broth before you bake. (I always do).
- Stir very well to mix all ingredients evenly. I usually stir once after about 15 minutes in the oven - after the cheese has had time to melt. Bake at 375 degrees for 30 minutes.
- You can add canned or fresh mushrooms if you like.
- Also, for a nice touch - (looks pretty for guests) you can add one can of black olives, sprinkled over the top of the casserole. (optional).(I slice them to make them go further).
- Please note that if you want to cut the fat from your diet, this tastes equally good with fat-free soups and the "lite" velveeta. You can also leave out the olive oil or oleo and spray the pan with pam and add extra fat-free chicken broth.
- A good company dish. Everyone always seems to enjoy this dish and I usually get asked for the recipe. Also, children seem to especially like this dish.
CHICKEN SPAGHETTI--NO VELVEETA OR CREAM SOUPS
I was looking for a Chicken Spaghetti recipe that did not have velveeta or cream soups. When I couldn't find one after 30 min of searching, I decided to make my own. Here it is. The cheese sauce still makes it very creamy like the one you are used to. When my kids ate it, they all said it was yummy and went back for seconds and thirds.

Steps:
- Preheat oven to 350 degrees.
- Heat oil in a skillet. Add chicken, onion, garlic, and bell pepper. Sautee for about 5 minutes or until veggies are tender.
- Add tomatoes, chiles, salt, pepper, thyme, and oregano. Let simmer while you do other steps.
- Boil spaghetti until al dente (about 6 minutes).
- While spaghetti is cooking, in a medium saucepan cook evaporated milk, 1/2 c of the milk, ground mustard, garlic powder and 1/2 teaspoon salt. Bring to a boil and reduce to a simmer. Stir regularly as it will stick to bottom of pan.
- Whisk the cornstarch and the remaining 1/4 c of milk together. Then, whisk it into the simmering mixture. Continue to simmer, whisking constantly, until the sauce has thickened and is smooth, about 2 minutes.
- Off the heat, gradually whisk in the grated cheese until melted and smooth.
- Spray a 9x13 casserole dish with nonstick spray. Mix the drained spaghetti, chicken/tomato mixture, and cheese sauce. You could probably eat it at this point, but I chose to cook mine in the oven for 20 minutes.

Steps:
- Cook pasta as directed on package; drain. Return to same pan. Spray skillet with no stick spray. Add chicken; cook and stir on medium-high heat 4 to 5 minutes or until cooked through. Add Velveeta, soup, tomatoes with green chilies, mushrooms and milk; stir on low heat until Velveeta is melted. Add chicken mixture to pasta; toss to coat. Spoon into greased 13x9-inch baking dish. Bake at 350°F for 35 to 40 minutes or until hot.
Tips:
- Use a large pot to cook the spaghetti so that it has plenty of room to expand and cook evenly.
- Salting the water helps to flavor the spaghetti as it cooks.
- Be careful not to overcook the spaghetti, as it will become mushy.
- Reserve some of the pasta cooking water to use in the sauce. This will help to create a creamy and flavorful sauce.
- Use a sharp knife to cut the chicken into small pieces. This will help it to cook evenly and quickly.
- Season the chicken with salt and pepper before cooking to enhance its flavor.
- Cook the chicken over medium heat until it is cooked through. Do not overcrowd the pan, or the chicken will not cook evenly.
- While the chicken is cooking, prepare the sauce. Melt the butter in a large saucepan over medium heat. Whisk in the flour until smooth. Gradually whisk in the milk and cook, stirring constantly, until the sauce has thickened.
- Stir in the Velveeta cheese and cook until melted and smooth. Season the sauce with salt and pepper to taste.
- Add the cooked chicken and spaghetti to the sauce and stir to combine. Serve immediately.
