🔥 Cook Time: 20 minutes
🍽️ Servings: 4–6
🛒 Ingredients
8 oz (225 g) spaghetti
2 cups cooked chicken, shredded (rotisserie chicken works great!)
1 tbsp olive oil or butter
1 small onion, finely chopped
2 cloves garlic, minced
1 small green bell pepper, diced
1 cup mushrooms (optional)
1 can (10.5 oz) cream of chicken soup
1 can (10.5 oz) cream of mushroom soup
¾ cup chicken broth or water
1 ½ cups shredded cheddar cheese (divided)
½ cup Parmesan cheese
½ tsp salt
½ tsp black pepper
½ tsp paprika (optional, for a mild kick)
Fresh parsley for garnish
👩🍳 Instructions
Step 1: Cook the Spaghetti
Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil.
Add the spaghetti and cook until al dente (about 8–9 minutes).
Drain and set aside.
Step 2: Sauté the Veggies
In a large skillet or saucepan, heat olive oil over medium heat.
Add the onion, garlic, bell pepper, and mushrooms.
Cook for 3–4 minutes, stirring occasionally, until soft and fragrant.
Step 3: Make the Creamy Sauce
Add the cream of chicken soup, cream of mushroom soup, and chicken broth to the skillet.
Stir well until everything blends into a smooth sauce.
Season with salt, pepper, and paprika.
Step 4: Combine Everything
Add the shredded chicken and cooked spaghetti to the creamy sauce.
Toss gently to coat every strand with flavor.
Stir in 1 cup of cheddar cheese and Parmesan, letting them melt into the sauce.
Step 5: Bake (Optional but Delicious!)
For a golden, bubbly finish, transfer the mixture to a baking dish.
Top with the remaining ½ cup cheddar cheese and bake at 375°F (190°C) for 10–15 minutes, until the top is slightly crispy and melted.
🌿 Serving Tips
Garnish with fresh parsley or chopped chives before serving.
Pair with a simple green salad or garlic bread for a complete meal.
Add a sprinkle of crushed red pepper flakes if you like a bit of heat!
💡 Quick Tips
Shortcut: Use rotisserie chicken to save time.
Make it lighter: Swap the cream soups for low-fat versions or use Greek yogurt.
Add veggies: Broccoli, spinach, or peas add color and nutrition.
Storage: Refrigerate leftovers in an airtight container for up to 3 days. Reheat with a splash of milk to keep it creamy.
