Recipe Ingredients:
- 1 (12 ounce) package angel hair pasta
- 2 cups chopped cooked chicken breast
- 1 (10.75 ounce) can condensed cream of chicken soup
- 1 (10 ounce) can diced tomatoes with green chile peppers
- ¾ (8 ounce) package processed cheese, cubed
- ½ (4 ounce) jar sliced mushrooms, drained
- salt and pepper to taste
How To Make Chicken Spaghetti Recipe?
- Cook the Pasta: Bring a large pot of lightly salted water to a boil. Add the angel hair pasta and cook for 4–5 minutes, or until tender yet firm to the bite. Drain and return to the pot.
- Add Ingredients: Add the chopped chicken, cream of chicken soup, diced tomatoes, processed cheese, mushrooms, salt, and pepper to the pasta.
- Melt and Heat: Stir the mixture over low heat until the cheese melts and everything is heated through, about 5 minutes.
- Serve: Plate the spaghetti and serve hot. Enjoy this creamy, cheesy comfort dish!
Recipe Tips:
- Cook Pasta Al Dente: Be sure to cook the angel hair pasta just until it’s firm to the bite. Overcooked pasta can become mushy when mixed with the creamy sauce.
- Use Freshly Cooked Chicken: For the best flavor and texture, use freshly cooked chicken breast instead of pre-packaged or leftover chicken. You can grill, boil, or roast it beforehand.
- Melt Cheese Slowly: Add the processed cheese on low heat and stir continuously to prevent it from clumping or burning, ensuring a smooth and creamy sauce.
- Adjust Spice Level: The diced tomatoes with green chiles add a mild kick. If you prefer a spicier dish, use hot chile varieties, or for less spice, opt for plain diced tomatoes.
- Add Vegetables: For extra nutrition, stir in cooked veggies like broccoli, peas, or bell peppers. They blend beautifully with the creamy sauce and add texture.
How To Store & Reheat Leftovers?
- Refrigerate: First, let the leftover Chicken Spaghetti cool to room temperature. Then, transfer it to an airtight container and refrigerate for up to 3 days.
- Freeze: Allow the Chicken Spaghetti to cool completely before placing it in a freezer-safe container or bag. Freeze for up to 2 months. To thaw, move it to the refrigerator overnight before reheating.
- Reheat: Place a portion of Chicken Spaghetti in a microwave-safe dish, cover loosely, and heat on medium power for 2–3 minutes, stirring halfway through.
