Cook the Pasta & Chicken.
-
Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil and cook the spaghetti according to package directions until al dente. Drain and set aside.
-
While the pasta cooks, season the diced chicken with a pinch of salt and pepper. In a large skillet or Dutch oven, cook the chicken over medium heat until golden and cooked through (about 6-8 minutes). Remove the chicken from the skillet and set aside.
-
-
Sauté the Veggies.
-
In the same skillet, melt the butter over medium heat. Add the chopped onion and bell pepper and sauté for 4-5 minutes, until softened and fragrant.
-
-
Create the Creamy Sauce.
-
Reduce the heat to low. To the skillet, add the cubed Velveeta, undrained Rotel tomatoes, cream of chicken soup, and cream of mushroom soup.
-
Stir continuously until the cheese is completely melted and the sauce is smooth and uniform.
-
-
Combine Everything.
-
Gently toss everything together until the pasta and chicken are evenly coated in the luxurious cheese sauce.
-
Season and Simmer.
-
Taste the mixture and season with additional salt and pepper as needed. Let it simmer over low heat for 5-10 minutes, allowing the flavors to meld together perfectly.
-
-
Serve!
-
Remove from heat. Serve immediately, garnished with a sprinkle of fresh parsley or Parmesan cheese for a fresh, flavorful finish.

💡 Pro Tips
-
Spice Level: For a milder dish, use “Original” Rotel. For more heat, try the “Hot” variety.
-
Cheese Sauce: For an extra-cheesy finish, stir in a handful of shredded cheddar cheese at the very end.
