This is a great, comfort dish. My sister gave me the recipe and I tweaked it to fit my family’s taste. My friends also request this when we have pot-luck dinners. Garnish with freshly grated Parmesan cheese and serve with a salad and hot garlic bread. You’ll be a hit with everyone.
-This is my go to recipe for chicken spaghetti now. So much easier than an older recipe I had and so much cheesier! I haven’t had ANY complaints about it. I do certain tweeks to the recipe though (I brown the chicken chunks in a skillet for more flavor and boil the noodles in chicken stock and a Tbsp of chicken base and ALWAYS use red bell peppers). It goes fast in my family! We love it! Thanks again for this wonderful recipe!
-I’ve made this recipe 3 times now. Last time my husband said ‘”every time you make this it’s so good!” I shred the chicken instead of cut it into small chunks as I think it mixes better with the spaghetti noodles that way. Also, this is the first time I’ve watched the video on the chicken spaghetti page and I see the can of Rotel wasn’t drained. I’ve been draining them, so next time I will try without. Love this recipe!
