Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 3 cups Cooked rotisserie chicken (shredded)
- 12 ounces Uncooked spaghetti
- 4 tablespoons Butter
- 4 tablespoons All-purpose flour
- 2 cups Chicken broth
- 2 cups Milk
- 4 ounces Cream cheese (softened)
- 2 cups Shredded cheddar cheese
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 teaspoons Black pepper
- 1 teaspoon Garlic powder
- 0.5 teaspoons Paprika
- 2 tablespoons Chopped parsley (optional, for garnish)
- 1 as needed Cooking spray
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Lightly grease a 9x13-inch baking dish with cooking spray and set aside.
Cook the spaghetti according to package directions in a large pot of salted boiling water. Once cooked, drain and set aside.
In a large skillet or saucepan, melt the butter over medium heat. Once melted, whisk in the all-purpose flour and cook for 1-2 minutes, stirring constantly, to form a roux.
Gradually pour in the chicken broth while whisking to prevent lumps. Follow with the milk, continuing to whisk until the mixture is smooth and starts to thicken, about 3-4 minutes.
Reduce the heat to low and stir in the cream cheese until it’s melted and combined. Then add 1 1/2 cups of shredded cheddar cheese, the salt, black pepper, garlic powder, and paprika. Stir until the cheese is completely melted and the sauce is smooth.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the cooked spaghetti, shredded chicken, and the prepared cheese sauce. Toss everything together until evenly mixed.
Transfer the mixture to the prepared baking dish, spreading it out evenly. Sprinkle the remaining 1/2 cup of shredded cheddar cheese on top.
Bake in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes, or until the cheese on top is bubbly and golden brown.
Remove from the oven and let the casserole cool for 5 minutes. Garnish with chopped parsley if desired.
Serve warm and enjoy your comforting Rotisserie Chicken Spaghetti Casserole!
