Ingredients

Scale

This recipe keeps things straightforward and flavorful, using pantry staples and a few fresh ingredients to create magic. Here’s what you’ll need:

  • 8 ounces spaghetti
  • 2 cups cooked chicken, shredded (rotisserie chicken works great here!)
  • 1 can (10.5 ounces) cream of mushroom soup
  • 1 can (10.5 ounces) cream of chicken soup
  • 1 cup chicken broth
  • 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
  • 1/2 cup chopped onion
  • 1/2 cup chopped green bell pepper
  • 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon onion powder
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • 1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil

If you’re missing any ingredients, don’t worry! Swap green bell peppers with red ones for a sweeter touch, or use cream of celery soup if it’s what you have on hand. Remember, cooking is about flexibility and making do with what you have, just like those nights when my mom would whip up something amazing from seemingly nothing.

Instructions

Let’s get cooking! Follow these steps to bring this Southern delight to your table:

  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
  2. Cook the spaghetti according to package instructions until al dente, then drain and set aside.
  3. In a large skillet, heat olive oil over medium heat. Add the chopped onion and bell pepper, cooking until softened, about 5 minutes.
  4. Add the shredded chicken, cream of mushroom soup, cream of chicken soup, and chicken broth to the skillet. Stir until everything is well combined.
  5. Add garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and pepper to the mixture, stirring to incorporate.
  6. Mix in the cooked spaghetti and half of the cheddar cheese. Stir until the spaghetti is well coated with the sauce.
  7. Transfer the mixture to a greased 9×13 inch casserole dish. Top with the remaining cheddar cheese and Parmesan cheese.
  8. Bake in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes, or until the cheese is bubbly and golden brown.
  9. Let it cool for a few minutes before serving. Enjoy the melty, cheesy goodness!

As you prepare this casserole, don’t stress about little imperfections. If a bit of spaghetti spills over the edge, it’s just a sign of a recipe loved and lived in.
