This much so much delicious food! It’s just my husband and me and this lasted us most of the week

👩‍🍳 Instructions

  1. 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.

  2. 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.

  3. 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.

  4. Combine Everything.

    • Return the cooked chicken and any accumulated juices to the skillet. Add the drained spaghetti.

    • Gently toss everything together until the pasta and chicken are evenly coated in the luxurious cheese sauce.

  5. 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.

  6. 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.

  • Make it a Casserole: Transfer the combined mixture to a greased 9×13-inch baking dish, top with shredded cheese, and bake at 350°F (175°C) for 20 minutes, or until bubbly and golden on top.
