Creamy Chicken Spaghetti Recipe
Before you get started on this homemade baked chicken spaghetti, you need the chicken! You can take the easy way out and grab some rotisserie chicken from the supermarket and use that, or you can home make some chicken by either boiling (so you can shred) or baking and cutting up into cubes. Personally I prefer a shredded rotisserie chicken option!
Preheat oven to 350 and spray a 9×9 baking pan
with nonstick cooking spray. Set aside.
Add cheeses, tomatoes, soup, garlic and Italian seasoning to a saucepan.
Heat on medium heat, stirring frequently until all cheese is melted and mixture is smooth.
Stir in chicken and pasta and mix well to evenly coat.
Pour into prepared pan and top with shredded cheese.
Bake for 20-25 minutes or until heated through in the center.

With all those carbs, you need some veggies! Serve this chicken spaghetti recipe with a homemade vegetable side dish like creamed corn, roasted carrots, or delicious asparagus.
