Velveeta Chicken Spaghetti Ingredients

1/2 c. diced bell pepper 1 can of rotel tomatoes
1/2 cup oleo or olive oil 1 package thin spaghetti cooked in; chicken broth
1 med. diced onion 1/2 pound of velveeta cheese sliced; more or less to taste
2 cans chicken broth more or less to taste salt and pepper to taste
1 can of cream of chicken soup 1 package chicken tenderloins frozen
1 can of cream of mushroom soup 1 can mushrooms ; with juice, optional
3 c. of diced cooked chicken 1 can black pitted olives optional

Instructions for Velveeta Chicken Spaghetti

In a large skillet or cooking pot, saute bell pepper and onion in oleo or olive oil if you prefer.

Add 1 can of chicken broth and chicken. Simmer until tender. Cut chicken into bite-size pieces as it''s cooking.

Add all soups and Ro-tel tomatoes. Stir well. Simmer for about 15
minutes until chicken is done.

Cook the spaghetti in boiling water until just slightly cooked "al dente" - you don''t want to over-cook it because it will be cooking
more in the oven. Drain, rinse, and set aside until you are ready to mix with chicken/sauce ingredients in baking dish for the oven.

In a large baking dish or oven-proof pot, place the cooked and cut up
chicken, cooked spaghetti, salt and pepper, cheese, and soup mixture.

Depending on how creamy you like this dish, you may want to add extra chicken broth before you bake. (I always do).

Stir very well to mix all ingredients evenly. I usually stir once after
about 15 minutes in the oven - after the cheese has had time to melt.
Bake at 375 degrees for 30 minutes.

You can add canned or fresh mushrooms if you like.

Also, for a nice touch - (looks pretty for guests) you can add one can of black olives, sprinkled over the top of the casserole. (optional).
(I slice them to make them go further).

Please note that if you want to cut the fat from your diet, this tastes
equally good with fat-free soups and the "lite" velveeta. You can also leave out the olive oil or oleo and spray the pan with pam and add extra fat-free chicken broth.

A good company dish. Everyone always seems to enjoy this dish and I usually get asked for the recipe.

Very Tasty. A perfect dish for potluck or group gatherings. The directions on how to cook the chicken were a bit unclear. No need to cook spaghetti in broth. It was still delicious!

I'm confused by this recipe. It says to boil spaghetti in water in the directions, but in the ingredients, it says to boil in chicken broth?? One place in the ingredients, it calls for chicken tenderloins, and in another 3 cups of cut up chicken??? It looks like a good recipe, but which way do you make it?

I can't imagine why you need to use 1/2 cup of oil or oleo!!! who needs all those fat calories??? Spray the pan with non-stick spray to saute the veggies and save the calories and fat grams with no loss of flavor. I'll bet your could also cut back on the Velveeta and go with the reduced fat version, with no real loss of flavor.
