How to Make Chicken Spaghetti
Follow these simple steps to create a delicious and comforting meal in no time:
Step 1: Cook the Spaghetti
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Cook the spaghetti according to package instructions until it’s al dente. Drain and set aside.
Step 2: Prepare the Creamy Sauce
- In a large mixing bowl, combine the cream of chicken soup, cream of mushroom soup, Rotel tomatoes, sour cream, garlic powder, salt, and pepper. Stir until the mixture is smooth and well-blended.
Step 3: Assemble the Casserole
- Add the cooked spaghetti and shredded chicken to the sauce mixture. Stir everything together until the spaghetti and chicken are evenly coated with the creamy sauce.
Step 4: Add Cheese and Bake
- Grease a 9×13 baking dish with butter, then pour the chicken spaghetti mixture into the dish. Sprinkle the shredded cheddar cheese over the top.
- Cover with aluminum foil and bake for 20 minutes. Remove the foil and bake for an additional 10 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and bubbly.
Step 5: Serve and Garnish
- Remove the casserole from the oven and let it cool slightly. Garnish with fresh parsley if desired, then serve and enjoy!
Tips for the Best Chicken Spaghetti
- Use Pre-Cooked Chicken: Save time by using a rotisserie chicken or pre-cooked shredded chicken. It’s an easy shortcut that adds lots of flavor.
- Adjust the Heat: Rotel tomatoes with green chilies add a mild spice, but if you want a milder dish, use regular diced tomatoes instead.
- Extra Creaminess: For an even creamier texture, add a little extra sour cream or a splash of milk to the sauce.
Storing and Reheating Leftovers
This chicken spaghetti keeps well in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Store any leftovers in an airtight container and reheat in the microwave or oven. If reheating in the oven, cover the dish with foil to keep it moist, and add a splash of milk if the pasta has dried out.
