So, maybe you’ve recently read about my Pinterest addiction. If so, you know that I’m pinning things all over. I’m also trying to make some of the items that I’m pinning. I have an ever growing board called Yummy. Recently, I tried the Chicken Spaghetti. It was wonderful.
My kids had a couple of friends over and asked if they could stay for dinner. I said yes and I knew I had a winner recipe. These kids (ok, all except for G) not only ate dinner but came back for seconds and thirds. Baby E ate his serving and then begged for bites from my plate.
This wonderful dish on Pinterest linked to a post at Mandy’s Recipe Box. You can go check it out and find even more great stuff to make. The recipe is nice and easy too. I love yummy simple dishes that can be whipped up in a flash.
Chicken Spaghetti
2 c. cooked chicken, cut up
1 lb. package of spaghetti noodles
1 c. chicken broth
1 can cream of chicken soup
3 c. grated cheddar cheese, divided
1 can diced tomatoes, optional
1 can green chiles
Cook noodles according to package directions. Boil the chicken until done. Toss together in a large bowl. Add cream of chicken soup, green chiles, and tomatoes, and 2 c. cheese. Pour all into a 9×13 casserole dish. Top with 1 c. cheese. Bake at 350 degrees until bubbly.
Modifications:
I don’t normally modify a recipe until I’ve at least tried it once, but this time I used the ingredients I had on hand. So, I used diced tomatoes with basil, garlic and oregano and it tasted great. I did not have shredded cheddar on hand so I used a shredded mexican blend instead. I also seasoned the chicken with a little salt and pepper before I boiled it in chicken broth (enough to cover the chicken breasts, more than 1 cup) with a little McCormick Grill Mates Montreal Chicken Seasoning. I wasn’t sure if the chicken broth mentioned in the recipe was for cooking the chicken or for mixing with the other ingredients, so I assumed it was for cooking the chicken and did not add any later.
This is definitely a dish that will make our dinner rotation. I hope you enjoy it as much as we did!
