Ingredients you will need for this creamy chicken spaghetti recipe
- 1/2 Package of Spaghetti (8 ozs of a 16 oz pkg)

How to make Chicken Spaghetti!
- Preheat oven to 350 degrees.
- Boil chicken breast in a pot of water until fully cooked. {You can use chicken legs or thighs if you choose just discard the bones and skin.} Remove chicken and 1 cup of the chicken broth for later use. Shred the chicken into pieces. I like to use my Ninja Chopper or Kitchenaid for this, they both work great for shredding chicken.
- Cook spaghetti according to the package.
- Cube your Velvetta and mix with the 1 cup of chicken broth and heat on low until cheese melts.
- Combine the Rotel, both cans of soup, chicken, and spaghetti with the cheese.
- Bake in a 9×13 inch casserole dish at 350 degrees for approximately 45 minutes.
Can you freeze chicken spaghetti?
Chicken spaghetti freezes exceptionally well, go ahead and make it in advance. Once you place it in the casserole dish, you don’t need to bake it first, just freeze for up to four months

I’ve noticed reading the instructions you’ve mentioned chicken broth twice. But there’s no mention of chicken broth as an ingredient.

I didn't add it to the ingredients list because it comes from the cooked chicken breasts and not store-bought broth. However, I will add a note to the ingredients list. Thanks!

Looks good, my kids would definitely love this! We actually just made the switch to trying to be as close to a Paleo diet as possible, but this does give me a great starting point!

Yum, that looks delicious! I would probably have to use either penne or rotini noodles instead of spaghetti though. My hubby thinks that red sauce is the only right thing with spaghetti.
