The Best Chicken Spaghetti
This Chicken Spaghetti recipe is the perfect blend of comfort food and zesty flavors, topped off with a creamy, cheesy sauce. It’s easy to make and guaranteed to be a hit with everyone at the table. Let’s dive into how to make this delightful dish!
Ingredients:
- 8 ounces angel hair pasta (half of a 16-ounce box)
- 2 cups chopped, cooked chicken
- 2 (10-ounce) cans cream of chicken soup
- 1 cup salsa
- 1 cup sour cream
- 2 cups Mexican cheese blend, divided
- 1 tablespoon taco seasoning
- Dried parsley, for topping (optional)
Instructions:
Step 1: Prep Your Baking Dish
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
- Lightly spray a 9×13 baking dish with nonstick cooking spray to prevent sticking.
Step 2: Cook the Pasta
- Cook the angel hair pasta according to the package directions. Remember, you’re only using half a box. Once cooked, drain well.
Step 3: Combine the Ingredients
- Return the drained pasta to the pot. Add in the chopped chicken, cream of chicken soups, salsa, sour cream, 1 cup of Mexican cheese blend, and taco seasoning. Stir everything together until well combined. This will take a few minutes to ensure the flavors meld together.
Step 4: Assemble the Dish
- Pour the pasta mixture into your prepared baking dish. Smooth it out into an even layer.
- Sprinkle the remaining 1 cup of Mexican cheese blend over the top. Add a light dusting of dried parsley if using.
Step 5: Bake
- Cover the dish with nonstick aluminum foil. This will help keep the moisture in and prevent the cheese from burning.
- Bake in the preheated oven for about 25 minutes, or until the dish is hot and bubbly.
Serving Suggestions:
Serve this cheesy chicken spaghetti hot from the oven. It pairs wonderfully with a crisp green salad and some garlic bread. This dish is perfect for a cozy family dinner, and the leftovers (if there are any!) taste just as good the next day.
Enjoy your cooking and the delicious results!
