Ingredients

The following ingredients have 4 Servings
  • 1 whole chicken or 5 split chicken breasts
  • 6 cups water (use 10 cups if doubling)
  • 2 tablespoons salt
  • 1 teaspoon pepper
  • 1 bell pepper (seeded & diced)
  • 1 onion (diced)
  • 2 cloves garlic (minced)
  • 1 pound spaghetti
  • 1 12- oz can sliced mushrooms (drained)
  • 2 12- oz cans cream of chicken soup
  • 1 pound Velveeta cheese (cubed)
  • 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese

Instruction

  • In a large soup pot, combine chicken, water, salt and pepper. Bring to a boil, then reduce to a low simmer and cover with a tight fitting lid. Cook for 30 minutes.
  • Remove chicken from pot to a platter and allow to cool.
  • While chicken is cooling, add onions, bell pepper, mushrooms and garlic to the remaining broth.
  • Bring the broth to a boil.
  • Once boiling, add pasta and cook in broth. I usually cook the pasta longer than the package directions, about 15 minutes, or until most of the broth has been absorbed.
  • While pasta is cooking, debone chicken and dice into bite-sized pieces.
  • Add cream of chicken soup to the cooked pasta and stir to combine.
  • Dice the cheese loaf into manageable chunks. Add to the hot cooked spaghetti and stir to combine. The cheese will melt easily into the hot pasta.
  • Add the diced chicken and stir to combine.
  • Pour spaghetti into a greased baking dish and top with 1 cup of grated cheese.
  • Bake at 350* for about 20 minutes or until the cheese is nice and melty. Serve warm with hot bread and salad.
