Time 1h

Yield 8

Number Of Ingredients 12

1 pound skinless, boneless chicken breasts
½ teaspoon salt
½ teaspoon ground black pepper
1 (16 ounce) package spaghetti
½ cup salted butter
1 medium onion, chopped
1 medium bell pepper, chopped
1 (10 ounce) can diced tomatoes and green chiles (such as RO*TEL®)
1 (10.5 ounce) can condensed cream of chicken soup
1 (10.5 ounce) can condensed cream of mushroom soup
1 (1 pound) package shredded Mexican cheese blend
salt and ground black pepper to taste

Steps:

  • Bring a large pot of water to a boil. Add chicken, 1/2 teaspoon salt, and 1/2 teaspoon pepper. Cover, reduce heat to a gentle boil, and cook until chicken is no longer pink in the center and the juices run clear, 10 to 12 minutes. An instant-read thermometer inserted into the center should read at least 165 degrees F (74 degrees C). Remove chicken and set aside until cool enough to handle, then chop into bite-sized pieces. Leave broth in the pot.
  • Bring broth back to a boil. Cook spaghetti in the boiling broth, stirring occasionally, until tender yet firm to the bite, about 12 minutes. Drain spaghetti; do not rinse. Discard broth.
  • Melt butter in the same pot. Add onion and bell pepper; saute until softened, 5 to 7 minutes. Add diced tomatoes and chiles, condensed chicken soup, condensed mushroom soup, chicken, and spaghetti, one ingredient at a time, gently mixing after each addition.
  • Add Cheddar cheese and stir together, mixing well. Season with salt and pepper to taste. Heat until cheese is thoroughly melted, stirring occasionally to keep from scorching.

CREAMY CHICKEN SPAGHETTI



Creamy Chicken Spaghetti image

This is so rich and creamy with a hint of spice that I think you will enjoy. I've been playing around with it for a couple of weeks and my DD says this is the best. Use a small rotisseri chicken from your grocery store to make this even easier. The flavor of the chicken really works in this recipe. This makes a lot and will not fit into a 9X13 inch pan. This freezes well and left overs are even better. Hope you enjoy.
