BAKED SPAGHETTI WITH CHICKEN
Warning! This is delish! Sauce is made from scratch (Easy). The combination of cheeses and cream cheese is wonderful! I add a little less cheese than what is called for, but if you are like my mom then you will like the amount of cheese called for. The prep time may seem long b/c I included the simmering time in it.

CHICKEN SPAGHETTI
With spaghetti and mushroom sauce, and light and dark meat chicken with bell peppers, Ree Drummond's casserole is like two meals in one. Cooking the spaghetti in the same liquid as the chicken infuses it with flavor, and the Cheddar thickens the sauce so it coats each piece of meat.

Steps:
- Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F.

- Remove the chicken and 2 cups of the chicken cooking broth from the pot. When the chicken is cool, remove the skin and pick out the meat (a mix of dark and white) to make 2 generous cups.
- Cook the spaghetti in the same chicken cooking broth until al dente. Do not overcook. When the spaghetti is cooked, combine with the chicken, mushroom soup, 1 1/2 cups cheese, the green peppers, red peppers, onions, seasoned salt, cayenne, and sprinkle with salt and pepper. Stir in 1 cup of the reserved chicken cooking broth, adding an additional cup if needed.

Add the garlic, broth and bring the mixture to a boil, whisking all the while. Add the chicken and simmer, uncovered, for 3 to 5 minutes or until chicken is cooked through. Remove from the heat and stir in the milk or heavy cream. Season with 1 teaspoon of salt and pepper to taste; set aside and reheat over low heat when you remove the squash from the oven.

ONE-PAN CRISPY SPAGHETTI AND CHICKEN
This dish has won the hearts of adults and children alike, and for good reason: It's easy to prepare, fun to eat and doesn't call upon any hard-to-source ingredients. Cooking the spaghetti in this way lends plenty of texture, allowing for crispier bits at the edges and softer bits throughout. Feel free to make this dish your own by using up any soft herbs or hard cheeses you have on hand, or sprucing it up further with the addition of spice (cumin would work great here). Serve with some lightly cooked greens for a complete meal.

Steps:
- Heat oven to 425 degrees Fahrenheit/220 degrees Celsius.
- Add 1 tablespoon oil to a large, ovenproof lidded skillet and heat over high. Season the chicken with 3/4 teaspoon salt and 1/2 teaspoon pepper, then add to the hot oil, skin-side down. Cook for 7 minutes, without turning, to brown well.
- Turn the heat down to medium-high, then stir in the onion and turn over the chicken. Cook for 5 minutes, until the onion has softened and is lightly browned. Add the tomato paste, garlic and 1 tablespoon thyme, and cook, stirring the paste into the onions, for 2 minutes, until fragrant and everything is nicely browned.
- Add the boiling water, 1/2 teaspoon salt and 1/4 teaspoon pepper, then add the spaghetti, stirring to submerge and evenly distribute. Use tongs to lift the chicken pieces so they sit on top of the spaghetti, skin-side up. Bring to a simmer, cover with a lid and transfer to the oven for 30 minutes, until the liquid is absorbed.
- While the pasta is in the oven, in a small bowl, mix together the Parmesan, bread crumbs, parsley, lemon zest and remaining 1 tablespoon thyme.
- After the pasta has baked for 30 minutes, remove it from the oven and reset the temperature to a high broil (grill) setting. Sprinkle the Parmesan bread crumbs over the pasta and chicken, drizzle with the remaining oil and return to the center rack to broil (grill) for 3 to 4 minutes, until nicely browned and crisp. Leave to settle for about 5 minutes before serving warm, directly from the pan.
Tips:
- To ensure the spaghetti is cooked evenly, break it into smaller pieces before boiling. This will help it cook more quickly and prevent it from sticking together.
- Don't overcrowd the pan when cooking the chicken. If you're using a large skillet, cook the chicken in batches to prevent it from steaming instead of browning.
- Use a variety of vegetables in your baked spaghetti. This will add flavor and color to the dish. Some good options include bell peppers, onions, mushrooms, and zucchini.
- Don't be afraid to experiment with different types of cheese. A blend of mozzarella and cheddar is a classic choice, but you can also try Parmesan, Romano, or Asiago.
- Be careful not to overcook the spaghetti. It should be cooked al dente, which means it should be firm to the bite.
Conclusion:
Baked spaghetti with chicken is a delicious and easy-to-make meal that's perfect for a busy weeknight. It's also a great way to use up leftover chicken or spaghetti. With a few simple ingredients and a little bit of time, you can create a hearty and satisfying dish that the whole family will enjoy.
