Velveeta Chicken Spaghetti Preparation

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. Use 3 cups of chicken. (I've used packaged chicken tenderloins, as well as pre-cooked chicken from the deli. Whatever is convenient. It's all good.)

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

Cook the spaghetti in boiling water or chicken broth 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.

Yield: 8 to 10

Notes

A favorite company dish.

	Foolishpride awesome.!.!.!. family loved it definitely will make again.! 3 months, 2 weeks, 3 days, 17 hours, 56 minutes ago
	LilChenier Used hot rotel and added the mushrooms and olives. Mixed the velveeta into the chicken and soup mixture after removing it from the heat, so it was almost melted before putting it in the oven. This was a new favorite for everyone! 3 months, 3 weeks, 5 days, 14 hours, 51 minutes ago
	Corde24 turned out great for me!!!! 6 months, 2 weeks, 3 days, 9 hours, 13 minutes ago
	Aveya Very good! Family loves it. 6 months, 3 weeks, 2 days, 7 hours, 47 minutes ago
	cati151421 My family LOVED this! 7 months, 3 weeks, 3 days, 3 hours, 54 minutes ago
	EvaChasida It may be just a matter of personal taste, but half a pound of Velveeta makes this sickeningly cheesy... even for my kids, and they love cheese! How can I salvage the rest of the pan? This recipe made a huge amount, and the tip about adding chicken broth made it very creamy, but all we taste is Velveeta! Help! 8 months, 3 days, 17 hours, 55 minutes ago
	jacee8199 good! 8 months, 1 weeks, 5 days, 16 hours, 58 minutes ago
	rangerwife Mmmmm yummy. The best chicken spaghetti recipe yet. 10 months, 1 weeks, 22 minutes ago
	Heatherhaney I made this tonight for my family and it was delicious!! It put my mother & grandmother's chicken spaghetti recipe to shame! I have a 3 year old brother that wont eat hardly anything, yet he was shoveling it in faster than any of us! Wonderful Recipe!! I will defenitally share this recipe with family and friends! 1 years, 7 months, 3 weeks, 6 days, 1 hours, 21 minutes ago
	Annimal Oh man, this was soo good! I didn't have any cream of mushroom soup, so I used a jar of Alfredo sauce and the 6 of the optional 12 oz of mushrooms. Oh, an I used bowtie pasta. I guess it was more like a casserole but so yummy, still! Thanks! 2 years, 2 months, 2 weeks, 6 days, 2 hours, 8 minutes ago
	Friday2009 This recipe is wonderful!!! I didn't use bell pepper though and I didn't use as much onion as it called for since my husband doesn't care much for onions. I also didn't need to use the 2nd can of chicken broth. I cooked my noodles in water (I thought it was a waste to cook it in chicken broth and then pour it out after) and it turned out great! I mixed the soups, chicken, fresh mushrooms, black olives, and cheese in with the spaghetti, stirred it really well, and then put it in the baking dish. I found that was easier to mix in the pot rather than having it in a dish. 2 years, 4 months, 1 weeks, 3 days, 8 hours, 57 minutes ago

	Essential181 I wont riddle you with tactful insults of how I developed your recipe into something more, and luckily, I wont be complaining about it either, since I didn't ruin it. This recipe is a great base for anything you may want to prepare. The standard provided is delicious, and, as shared recipes should, it leads you toward experimentation of your own. Great Work. ~Aaron of Hawaii 2 years, 7 months, 2 days, 23 hours, 42 minutes ago
	sirtimbly Not great, a lot of work to make for very lackluster result. 2 years, 7 months, 3 weeks, 3 days, 4 hours, 40 minutes ago

	Cozyscratchcook Everyone really likes this recipe and I will make this again. Very filling and not to cheesy. 2 years, 10 months, 1 weeks, 6 days, 2 hours, 51 minutes ago
	R0CHELLE My family loved it. I did not use a 1/2 cup of oil or oleo. I used only enough to lightly coat the bottom. I boiled my chicken in broth separately. I mixed all soups & Ro-tel togehter then added the bell pepper & onion to mixture. After that, I followed the recipe. It was a great success. 2 years, 11 months, 1 weeks, 11 hours, 14 minutes ago
	PRL182 GOOD GO TO RECIPE WHEN YOU HAVE LEFTOVER CHICKEN. I MADE HALF OF RECIPE AS WE ARE ONLY TWO EATING THESE DAYS. I THINK I WILL TRY THIS WITH TUNA. IT WOULD BE A NEW TAKE ON AN OLD STANDBY. HATS OFF TO MY FELLOW TEXAN. THIS ONE AND THE TUNA VARIATION IS GOING IN THE FAMILY COOK BOOK I AM PUTTING TOGETHER FOR MY GIRLS. 2 years, 11 months, 3 weeks, 1 days, 9 hours, 38 minutes ago
