Chicken Spaghetti

This was the first time I’ve made chicken spaghetti, let alone try it! I had my in-laws over for dinner, and this recipe was a hit! It is great for a lot of people, very easy to make, and delicious. I used Ree Drummond’s Chicken Spaghetti recipe from her blog, The Pioneer Woman Cooks.

Cook chicken on stovetop in water over medium-low heat for about 30-40 minutes, covered. Cut chicken into cubes.

Measure out 3 cups of dry pasta, broken into 2 inch pieces. Cook pasta in same chicken broth until al dente.

In a large bowl combine all the ingredients except for the 1 cup additional cheese.
Add bell peppers and onions.

Add chicken and pimentos.

Add cheese.

Add can of mushroom and can of chicken soup.

Add Lawry’s seasoning, salt, pepper, and cayenne pepper.

Pour into casserole dish, top with remaining cheese, and bake at 350 degrees for 45 minutes until bubbly.

Serve hot. Enjoy!
