Ingredients

Instructions

  • Cook fresh or frozen chicken breast in a large pot with enough water to cover a few chicken 3-4" Season with salt and pepper. Bring to a boil, then simmer for 30 to 45 minutes or more.
    Remove the chicken, and reserve broth. Let the chicken cool and chop the chicken into bite-size pieces.
    Add spaghetti noodles to the broth and cook until tender, 10 minutes or so or al dente. Do not overcook.
    Remove noodles from the broth and pour the broth into another container.
    Add 2 cups of broth back to the pot and bring to a simmer. Cube the Velveeta cheese and place in the broth. Add the can of soup and Rotel. Do not drain the Rotel. Simmer until cheese has melted.
    Prepare oven-proof casserole dish with cooking spray or butter.
    Add the chopped chicken and cooked spaghetti noodles to the cream sauce and pour into the casserole dish.
    If the casserole looks a bit dry, you can add a little more broth—just not so much that it turns soupy.
    Sprinkle shredded sharp cheddar cheese on top.
    Bake in the oven at 350° for 30 minutes or until hot and bubble, or a little brown on top.
