Description

A comforting and creamy chicken spaghetti casserole perfect for busy weeknights, featuring rotisserie chicken, pasta, and cheesy goodness.


Ingredients

  • 1 lb spaghetti noodles, broken in half
  • 2 cups cooked chicken, shredded or chopped (rotisserie chicken works great)
  • 1 can (10.5 oz) cream of mushroom soup
  • 1 can (10.5 oz) cream of chicken soup
  • 1 can (10 oz) diced tomatoes with green chilies (like Rotel)
  • 2 cups shredded cheddar cheese, divided
  • 1 small onion, finely chopped
  • 1 tablespoon butter
  • ½ teaspoon garlic powder
  • Salt and pepper, to taste
  • ½ cup chicken broth or pasta water, if needed


Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
  2. Boil the spaghetti noodles until they are al dente. Drain and set aside.
  3. In a skillet, melt the butter and cook the chopped onion until soft, about 3–4 minutes.
  4. In a large bowl, combine the cream of mushroom soup, cream of chicken soup, sautéed onion, diced tomatoes with chilies, garlic powder, and 1½ cups of cheese. Mix well.
  5. Stir in the shredded chicken and spaghetti. If the mixture is too thick, add chicken broth or pasta water until it reaches your desired consistency.
  6. Transfer the mixture to a greased 9×13-inch baking dish. Top with the remaining cheese.
  7. Cover the dish with foil and bake for 25 minutes. Remove the foil and bake for an additional 10 minutes until it is bubbly and golden.
  8. Enjoy hot and cheesy straight from the oven!

Notes

Great served with a simple side salad or garlic bread. For an extra kick, consider adding jalapeños. Feel free to add more or less cheese based on preference.
