Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 12 oz spaghetti
- 2 large chicken breast
- 10.5 oz cream of chicken soup
- 10.5 oz cream of mushroom soup
- 1 cup sour cream
- 2 cups shredded cheddar cheese
- 1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
- 1.5 cups chicken broth
- 10 oz diced tomatoes with green chilies (e.g., Rotel)
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon onion powder
- 0.5 teaspoon salt
- 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
- 2 tablespoons unsalted butter
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
Cook the spaghetti according to the package instructions until al dente. Drain and set aside.
While the spaghetti is cooking, heat the olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat.
Season the chicken breasts with salt, black pepper, garlic powder, and onion powder. Cook the chicken in the skillet for 6-7 minutes per side, or until fully cooked and golden brown. Remove from the skillet and let rest for 5 minutes before shredding or dicing.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the cream of chicken soup, cream of mushroom soup, sour cream, diced tomatoes with green chilies, chicken broth, garlic powder, and onion powder. Mix well.
Melt the unsalted butter in a saucepan over medium heat. Once melted, stir in 1 cup of shredded cheddar cheese and 1 cup of shredded mozzarella cheese until melted and smooth.
Add the melted cheese mixture to the large mixing bowl with the soups and stir to combine. Add the cooked spaghetti and chicken to the bowl and toss until evenly coated.
Grease a 9x13-inch baking dish with nonstick cooking spray or a light layer of butter.
Pour the spaghetti and chicken mixture into the prepared baking dish, spreading it out evenly.
Top the casserole with the remaining 1 cup of shredded cheddar cheese.
Bake in the preheated oven for 30-35 minutes, or until the cheese on top is melted, bubbly, and slightly golden.
Remove the casserole from the oven and let it rest for 5 minutes before serving.
Garnish with fresh parsley or chopped green onions if desired. Serve warm and enjoy!
