Tex-mex Chicken Spaghetti Casserole

Recipes »  Main Dish  »  Casseroles

This makes a lot, but it freezes well and it's even better the next day.

"It was really good! After taking time to read the other reviews, I actually used mini farfalle and Cambell's Cream of Chicken AND Mushroom soup (never seen it before, but it was in one can and thought it might be a good substitute). After the questions about which brand of Rotel, I just used mild Rotel and did not drain the tomatoes, but I seasoned my chicken for additional flavor. I also put some shredded Fiesta Blend cheese on top the last 15 minutes of baking. My family absolutely LOVED it!" - leigh0829

Original recipe makes 10
4 boneless, skinlessChicken breasts; boiled and cut into bite sized pieces-reserve water
1 canFat free cream of mushroom soup
1 canRotel tomatoes; Use the hot if you like it spicy
1 can (8 ounce)Tomato sauce
1 largeOnion; diced
1 largeBell pepper; diced
1/2 stickButter
1 16 ounceMexican Velveeta cheese; sliced
1 packageSpaghetti; small box

Tex-mex Chicken Spaghetti Casserole Preparation

Boil the chicken breasts in a large pot, reserving the water. While the chicken is boiling, melt the butter in a large, deep skillet and saute the onion and pepper until translucent. Add the soup, tomatoes, tomato sauce, and sliced Velveeta cheese to the onion and peppers and heat and stir until everything is warm and then set the mixture aside. When the chicken is done, remove to a plate to cool and bring the water to a boil. Break the spaghetti into 3 or 4 inch pieces and cook according to package directions. While the spaghetti is cooking, cut the chicken into bite sized pieces and add to the soup and cheese mixture in the skillet, stirring to mix well. Strain the spaghetti and rinse it with cool water and then add it to the chicken mixture, stirring to mix well. Turn all into a large baking dish, cover with foil and bake at 300 degrees for one hour. This is a heavy dish, so a light side dish such as a vegetable or salad would be good with this, but really it''s a meal by itself.

    This was good but very rich. Next time I will make two 8x8's and freeze one.

    This is pretty good. I liked the little bit of kick it had. Everyone ate it up, even the baby.

    Easy to make and loved it. It makes a lot so there is lunch for work the next day. Going to add shredded cheese to the top for the last 15 mins of baking next time.

    This was pretty good. I used hot Rotel Tomatoes so it was really spicy. Also added half a cup of mild salsa. The family gobbled it up. Gone in one day.

    Yum! I used elbow macaroni instead of spaghetti noodles. I also microwaved the chicken because we were in a hurry. It was the perfect meal after my sons football game.
