Ingredients

• 12 oz spaghetti
• 2 cups chicken breast, cooked and shredded
• 1 can (10.5 oz) cream of mushroom soup
• 1 can (10.5 oz) cream of chicken soup
• 1 can (10 oz) diced tomatoes with green chilies (e.g., Rotel), drained
• 1 cup chicken broth
• 2 cups shredded cheddar cheese
• 1 tablespoon olive oil
• 1 medium onion, finely chopped
• 3 cloves garlic, minced
• 0.5 teaspoon salt
• 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
• 0.5 teaspoon paprika (optional, for garnish)

Directions

Step 1

Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Cook the spaghetti according to package instructions until al dente. Drain and set aside.

Step 2

In a large skillet or saucepan, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the chopped onion and sauté for 3-4 minutes until softened. Add the minced garlic and cook for an additional 1 minute until fragrant.

Step 3

Reduce the heat to low and add the cream of mushroom soup, cream of chicken soup, diced tomatoes with green chilies, and chicken broth. Stir well to combine into a creamy sauce.

Step 4

Add the shredded chicken to the sauce. Season with salt, black pepper, and optional paprika. Stir and let the mixture simmer gently for 5-7 minutes to allow the flavors to meld.

Step 5

Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Lightly grease a 9x13-inch baking dish.

Step 6

Combine the cooked spaghetti with the sauce mixture. Mix thoroughly to ensure the noodles are well coated.

Step 7

Pour the spaghetti and sauce mixture into the prepared baking dish. Sprinkle the shredded cheddar cheese evenly over the top.

Step 8

Bake in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and bubbly.

Step 9

Remove from the oven and let it rest for 5 minutes before serving. Optionally, sprinkle with more paprika or fresh parsley as garnish.
