Ingredients
Scale
Main Ingredients
- 2 cups cooked spaghetti
- 1 lb cooked, shredded chicken
- 1 can (10 oz) Rotel diced tomatoes and green chilies
- 1 can (10.5 oz) cream of chicken soup
- 1 cup shredded cheese (cheddar or Mexican blend)
- 1/2 cup chicken broth
- 1 tsp garlic powder
- Salt and pepper to taste
Instructions
- Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease a baking dish to prevent sticking and ensure easy cleanup.
- Mix Ingredients: In a large bowl, combine the cooked spaghetti, shredded chicken, Rotel tomatoes, cream of chicken soup, chicken broth, garlic powder, salt, and pepper. Stir everything together thoroughly to blend all flavors and coat the pasta evenly.
- Assemble Casserole: Pour the mixture into the prepared baking dish, spreading it out evenly to create a uniform layer for even baking.
- Add Cheese: Sprinkle the shredded cheese evenly over the top of the pasta mixture to form a delicious, melty crust.
- Bake: Bake the casserole in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes, or until the dish is bubbly and the cheese has turned golden brown.
- Rest and Serve: Remove the casserole from the oven and let it rest for a few minutes to set before serving. Enjoy the warm, creamy, and flavorful chicken spaghetti!
Notes
- Use rotisserie chicken or leftover cooked chicken for convenience.
- Adjust cheese type and amount depending on your preference for flavor and meltiness.
- For a spicier version, use regular Rotel instead of mild or add extra chili powder.
- Leftovers can be stored in the refrigerator for up to 3 days and reheated in the oven or microwave.
- To make it gluten-free, substitute regular spaghetti with gluten-free pasta and ensure soup and broth are gluten-free.
