- 1 can (10.5 ounces) Condensed cream of chicken soup
- 1 can (10 ounces) Diced tomatoes with green chilies (Rotel)
- 2 cups Shredded cheddar cheese
- 1 cup Shredded mozzarella cheese
- 1 cup Chicken broth
- 2 tablespoons Butter
- 1 cup Chopped onion
- 2 cloves Minced garlic
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 teaspoon Ground black pepper
- 0.5 teaspoon Paprika
- 2 tablespoons Parsley (optional, for garnish)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and grease a 9x13-inch baking dish.
Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Cook the spaghetti according to package instructions until al dente, then drain and set aside.
In a large skillet, melt the butter over medium heat. Add the chopped onion and cook for 3-4 minutes, until softened. Add the minced garlic and cook for an additional 30 seconds, stirring constantly.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the cream of mushroom soup, cream of chicken soup, diced tomatoes with green chilies (with their juice), chicken broth, salt, ground black pepper, and paprika. Mix well.
Add the cooked onion and garlic from the skillet, shredded chicken, cooked spaghetti, 1 1/2 cups of shredded cheddar cheese, and 1/2 cup of shredded mozzarella cheese to the mixing bowl. Toss everything together until well combined.
Transfer the mixture to the prepared baking dish and spread it out evenly.
Top the casserole with the remaining 1/2 cup of shredded cheddar cheese and 1/2 cup of shredded mozzarella cheese.
Cover the dish with aluminum foil and bake in the preheated oven for 20 minutes.
Remove the foil and bake for an additional 10 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and bubbly.
Remove the casserole from the oven and let it rest for 5 minutes. Sprinkle with chopped parsley, if desired, then serve warm.
