Chicken Spaghetti

The Original Recipe:
I found this on cassicraves.blogspot. I love her blog. I find her cooking similar to my own; comforting! I did change a few things, so that recipe follows.

Chicken Spaghetti


1 16-ounce box spaghetti, broken into 2-inch pieces

1 cup chicken broth

2 cups cooked shredded chicken (a store-bought rotisserie chicken works perfectly for this)

2 cans cream of mushroom soup*

1 cup sour cream

3 cups shredded sharp cheddar cheese, divided*

1 4-ounce can green chilies, drained

1 small onion, finely diced

1 4-ounce can chopped pimientos, drained

1 teaspoon seasoning salt

Salt and pepper to taste



1. Cook spaghetti in chicken broth and water until al dente; drain. When spaghetti is cooked, combine with remaining ingredients except 1 cup shredded cheddar. Pour into a casserole dish and top with remaining cheese.

2. Bake at 350 degrees for 45 minutes or until bubbly.

* I have made this recipe as stated and it's delicious! I have also found another way of making it! Switch out 1 can of mushroom for 1 can of Cheddar Cheese (Campbells Healthy Choice) Soup. Omit the Shredded Cheese. Add in half a block of cream cheese. For a total comfort, add cooked crumbled bacon to the top before baking.





The Way I Made It My Own:
Of course, I changed a few things. I really don't like using that many cans of "cream of" soup in one recipe, but I found the campbells healthy choice no msg cans, so that is what I used. My family liked this dish. It was fast and easy to make and please.
