Ingredients
12 oz spaghetti
2 cups cooked, shredded chicken (rotisserie works great)
1 tablespoon olive oil
1 small onion, diced
1 green bell pepper, diced
2 cloves garlic, minced
1 (10 oz) can diced tomatoes with green chilies (e.g., Rotel)
1 (10.5 oz) can cream of mushroom soup
1 (10.5 oz) can cream of chicken soup
1/2 cup sour cream
2 cups shredded cheddar cheese, divided
1/2 teaspoon paprika
Salt and pepper to taste
Chopped parsley for garnish (optional)
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C).
- Cook the spaghetti according to the package instructions until al dente. Drain and set aside.
- In a large skillet, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the diced onion and bell pepper, sautéing for 4-5 minutes until soft. Add garlic and cook for another minute.
- Stir in the diced tomatoes, cream of mushroom soup, cream of chicken soup, and sour cream. Mix everything until smooth and heated through.
- Add the shredded chicken and 1 cup of shredded cheddar cheese to the sauce. Stir to combine.
- Fold in the cooked spaghetti, making sure it’s well coated in the sauce.
- Transfer the mixture to a greased 9×13 inch baking dish. Top with the remaining 1 cup of shredded cheese and sprinkle with paprika.
- Bake uncovered for 25-30 minutes, or until the top is bubbly and golden.
- Garnish with chopped parsley if desired, and serve warm.
Notes
If you want to add some heat, use spicy diced tomatoes with green chilies or add a pinch of cayenne pepper.
Feel free to swap out the cheese for mozzarella, pepper jack, or a blend of cheeses.
For a healthier version, use lighter soups or a homemade cream sauce.
Adding spinach or mushrooms will give the dish a veggie boost.
