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

Ingredients

4 boneless, skinless Chicken breasts boiled and cut into bite sized pieces-reserve water

1 can Fat free cream of mushroom soup

1 can Rotel tomatoes Use the hot if you like it spicy

1 can (8 ounce) Tomato sauce

1 large Onion diced

1 large Bell pepper diced

1/2 stick Butter

1 16 ounce Mexican Velveeta cheese sliced

1 package Spaghetti small box


Directions

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.

Husband loved! Added chopped jalapeño and used the spicy Rotel tomatoes. Pretty spicy but delicious!

Okay, I need help.. my instructor really wants to try this recipe- the tex-mex chicken spaghetti, but doesn't eat poultry/meat. She was wondering what could be substituted for the chicken? And my family loves this dish, especially my dads friends!

Made everything but the spaghetti. Divided it and froze it. Put it on low in the crockpot and last minute we decided to eat it over tortilla chips, like chicken nachos. Next time will use hotter spicier Rotel. Looking forward to the second half in the freezer. Made a quick and easy dinner.
