CHICKEN SPAGHETTI

My husband’s favorite meal dating back to his childhood is spaghetti. Although this chicken spaghetti recipe is definitely not as common, it’s a lighter twist on the classic dish and is the ultimate comfort food.

INGREDIENTS

  • SPAGHETTI
  • CHICKEN BROTH
  • ROTEL TOMATOES – These have green chilies in them and give the dish a spicy kick.
  • CREAM CHEESE – A lot of recipes call for cream of chicken soup or Velveeta cheese but I’m not a fan. The creamy sauce is made with cream cheese.
  • MEXICAN CHEDDAR CHEESE
  • ROTISSERIE CHICKEN – You could also use cooked and shredded chicken breasts. Any leftover chicken will do.

HOW TO MAKE THIS
