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.

	TristaLynn Absolutely loooved it! Cheese lovers, this is a no brainer! 1 months, 3 days, 4 hours, 32 minutes ago
	carlypryorwilson Delicious spin on chicken spaghetti. I used mild rotel and the regular velveeta since I have small children, and it was still very flavorful. We loved it! 1 months, 1 weeks, 2 days, 21 hours, 32 minutes ago
	krisser73 My husband loved this recipe and asked me to make it again only a day after the first batch was gone! I used shredded Mexican blend cheese (I don't like processed food) and added some diced red bell pepper and jalape?o the second batch. It's a keeper! 1 months, 1 weeks, 5 days, 10 hours, 25 minutes ago
	cain157 Yummy and easy 2 months, 5 days, 2 hours, 16 minutes ago
	iljordan Excellent taste. I didn't have Mexican Velveeta cheese so added some jalapenos peppers. Also not sure I will cook as long next times as it was a little dry. When they say it makes a lot, believe it! I froze 3 small aluminum casserole pans for a future quick meal! 2 months, 1 weeks, 4 days, 6 hours, 43 minutes ago
	UCmom Awesome. Loved this! I used shredded cheddar instead of the sliced cheese (it's what I had on hand), turned out perfect! Love the flavors, will definately make this a regular in our dinner rotation 2 months, 2 weeks, 22 hours, 2 minutes ago
	Czwhiz Family approved. You could/should make this into 2 casseroles because is rich and makes a lot. (I have 2 teenage boys and had plenty left) I used a box of Dreamfields pasta and I think it may have been too much pasta. Next time I'd use twice the onions and peppers and bake 20/30 mins instead of an hour. 3 months, 1 weeks, 6 days, 7 hours, 31 minutes ago
	jengormanburke Thought I was making this for my family & ended up with unexpected dinner guests. I wasn't thrilled to be serving a dinner with a can of soup & a block of Velveta in the recipe t but they loved it! May have been the margaritas but I don't think so. Will definitely be adding to our 'taco Tuesday' rotation 3 months, 2 weeks, 6 days, 18 hours, 20 minutes ago
	aphilbeck8 I made this with my canned tomatoes from my garden last year. I love that fresh taste it puts in any recipe. Thanks! Will make again and again. I gave you a medal too. 3 months, 3 weeks, 5 days, 37 minutes ago
	michaelmac Great meal and makes a ton. Also delicious as a next day lunch. 4 months, 1 weeks, 1 days, 2 hours, 39 minutes ago
	Dondondondon Great recipe makes a bunch everyone went back for seconds 4 months, 1 weeks, 3 days, 4 hours, 53 minutes ago
	ashleyr5391 Pretty good 4 months, 1 weeks, 5 days, 23 hours, 59 minutes ago
	Demonica This reminded me of something my aunt used to make and bring to church gatherings. I don't think they sell RoTel Tomatoes in CA, but I know what they are so easily found a substitute (diced tomatoes and green peppers, think the hot is jalapeno?) I don't think I've had mexican velveeta before, but it was pretty darn good in this! 4 months, 1 weeks, 6 days, 21 hours, 36 minutes ago
	Nahoom1 Very good and hearty, easy to make and kids loved it too. 4 months, 2 weeks, 4 days, 1 hours, ago
	akwilson4 Great recipe! I do things a bit different though. I cook the chicken on the BBQ and cook the noodles inside while the chicken is cooking outside. After draining the noodles, I combine everything else in the pot that the noodles cooked in. Then I add the cooked chicken and noodles, heat through and then serve. I don't see the need to dirty another dish and wait another hour for everything to cook through again. Quicker and easier for me. Great ingredients and flavor! Thanks again! 4 months, 3 weeks, 3 days, 21 hours, 15 minutes ago
	Hpreece Although I used the butter, I don't think that it's necessary. It was a bit runny or very creamy so I think that the amount of cheese can be cut as well. I used the block kind of Velvetta so maybe that was creamier than the recommended sliced kind. The leftovers were better because the sauces thickened. 4 months, 3 weeks, 5 days, 2 hours, 53 minutes ago
	Jaime712 Tasty! Everyone here thought it was delicious. The leftovers were even better. 5 months, 1 weeks, 4 days, 21 hours, 37 minutes ago
	agh1224 Very good! The whole family loved it! 5 months, 2 weeks, 4 days, 20 hours, 35 minutes ago
