12 oz spaghetti
2 cups cooked chicken, shredded (rotisserie works great)
1 tablespoon butter or olive oil
1/2 cup onion, diced
1/2 cup green bell pepper, diced
2 cloves garlic, minced
1 (10.5 oz) can cream of mushroom soup
1 (10.5 oz) can cream of chicken soup
1 (10 oz) can diced tomatoes with green chilies (like Rotel), undrained
1/2 cup chicken broth (or water)
2 cups shredded cheddar cheese (divided)
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon black pepper
1/2 teaspoon paprika (optional)
Chopped parsley (for garnish)
Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C). Lightly grease a 9×13-inch baking dish.
Cook the spaghetti:
Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Cook spaghetti until just al dente. Drain and set aside.
Sauté the vegetables:
In a large skillet, melt butter over medium heat. Add onion and bell pepper. Sauté for 3–4 minutes until softened. Add garlic and cook another 30 seconds.
Make the sauce:
Stir in cream of mushroom soup, cream of chicken soup, diced tomatoes with chilies, chicken broth, 1 ½ cups of shredded cheese, and seasonings. Mix until smooth and creamy.
Combine:
Add the cooked spaghetti and shredded chicken to the sauce. Toss everything together until well coated.
Bake:
Transfer the mixture to the prepared baking dish. Sprinkle the remaining 1/2 cup of cheese over the top. Bake uncovered for 25–30 minutes, until bubbly and golden.
Serve:
Let rest for 5 minutes. Garnish with chopped parsley and serve warm.
You can use cream of celery soup instead of one of the others.
Add cooked mushrooms, peas, or chopped spinach for more veggies.
This freezes well—assemble, cover tightly, and freeze before baking.
