Description

This chicken spaghetti recipe is quick and easy to make, yet is hearty and delicious. It's a great way to use leftover chicken!

Ingredients

  1. Pasta
    : This quick recipe starts with a package of angel hair pasta. You can use regular spaghetti noodles if you prefer.
  2. Chicken
    : Use two cups of cooked chicken breasts. If you're really in a rush, use leftovers or rotisserie chicken.
  3. Canned soup
    : A can of condensed cream of chicken soup gives the sauce a rich and creamy texture.
  4. Canned tomatoes
    : You'll need a can of diced tomatoes with green chile peppers for the flavorful spaghetti sauce.
  5. Cheese
    : Cubed packaged processed cheese is a convenient ingredient that ups the creaminess factor.
  6. Mushrooms
    : Chopped jarred mushrooms lend flavor and texture. If you like, you can also add other veggies (like onions or bell peppers).
  7. Seasonings
    : Season the chicken spaghetti with salt and pepper to taste. If you prefer a spicy spaghetti, add some crushed red pepper.

Steps

  1. Bring a large pot of lightly salted water to a boil. Cook angel hair pasta in the boiling water, stirring occasionally, until tender yet firm to the bite, 4 to 5 minutes. Drain pasta and return it to the pot.
  2. Add chopped chicken, condensed soup, diced tomatoes with chile peppers, processed cheese, mushrooms, salt, and pepper.
  3. Cook and stir over low heat until cheese is melted and mixture is heated through, about 5 minutes.
