CHICKEN SPAGHETTI--NO VELVEETA OR CREAM SOUPS



Chicken Spaghetti--No Velveeta or Cream Soups image

I was looking for a Chicken Spaghetti recipe that did not have velveeta or cream soups. When I couldn't find one after 30 min of searching, I decided to make my own. Here it is. The cheese sauce still makes it very creamy like the one you are used to. When my kids ate it, they all said it was yummy and went back for seconds and thirds.

Time 1h

Yield 1 casserole, 10 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 19

1 (13 ounce) can chicken breasts, chopped (or 1-2 diced chicken breasts)
1 medium onion, chopped
3 garlic cloves, minced
1/2 red bell pepper, chopped
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon pepper
1/2 teaspoon thyme
1/2 teaspoon oregano
1 tablespoon olive oil
1 (28 ounce) can diced tomatoes
1 (4 ounce) canned diced green chiles (mild)
1 (13 1/4 ounce) package whole wheat spaghetti
1 (12 ounce) can evaporated milk
3/4 cup milk, divided
1/4 teaspoon ground mustard
1/8 teaspoon garlic powder
1/2 teaspoon salt
2 teaspoons cornstarch
8 ounces cheddar cheese, grated

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 350 degrees.
  • Heat oil in a skillet. Add chicken, onion, garlic, and bell pepper. Sautee for about 5 minutes or until veggies are tender.
  • Add tomatoes, chiles, salt, pepper, thyme, and oregano. Let simmer while you do other steps.
  • Boil spaghetti until al dente (about 6 minutes).
  • While spaghetti is cooking, in a medium saucepan cook evaporated milk, 1/2 c of the milk, ground mustard, garlic powder and 1/2 teaspoon salt. Bring to a boil and reduce to a simmer. Stir regularly as it will stick to bottom of pan.
  • Whisk the cornstarch and the remaining 1/4 c of milk together. Then, whisk it into the simmering mixture. Continue to simmer, whisking constantly, until the sauce has thickened and is smooth, about 2 minutes.
  • Off the heat, gradually whisk in the grated cheese until melted and smooth.
  • Spray a 9x13 casserole dish with nonstick spray. Mix the drained spaghetti, chicken/tomato mixture, and cheese sauce. You could probably eat it at this point, but I chose to cook mine in the oven for 20 minutes.

Time 1h

Yield 8

Number Of Ingredients 12

1 pound skinless, boneless chicken breasts
½ teaspoon salt
½ teaspoon ground black pepper
1 (16 ounce) package spaghetti
½ cup salted butter
1 medium onion, chopped
1 medium bell pepper, chopped
1 (10 ounce) can diced tomatoes and green chiles (such as RO*TEL®)
1 (10.5 ounce) can condensed cream of chicken soup
1 (10.5 ounce) can condensed cream of mushroom soup
1 (1 pound) package shredded Mexican cheese blend
salt and ground black pepper to taste

Steps:

  • Bring a large pot of water to a boil. Add chicken, 1/2 teaspoon salt, and 1/2 teaspoon pepper. Cover, reduce heat to a gentle boil, and cook until chicken is no longer pink in the center and the juices run clear, 10 to 12 minutes. An instant-read thermometer inserted into the center should read at least 165 degrees F (74 degrees C). Remove chicken and set aside until cool enough to handle, then chop into bite-sized pieces. Leave broth in the pot.
  • Bring broth back to a boil. Cook spaghetti in the boiling broth, stirring occasionally, until tender yet firm to the bite, about 12 minutes. Drain spaghetti; do not rinse. Discard broth.
  • Melt butter in the same pot. Add onion and bell pepper; saute until softened, 5 to 7 minutes. Add diced tomatoes and chiles, condensed chicken soup, condensed mushroom soup, chicken, and spaghetti, one ingredient at a time, gently mixing after each addition.
  • Add Cheddar cheese and stir together, mixing well. Season with salt and pepper to taste. Heat until cheese is thoroughly melted, stirring occasionally to keep from scorching.

Tips:

  • Use fresh ingredients: Fresh vegetables, herbs, and spices will give your chicken spaghetti the best flavor. Look for ripe tomatoes, crisp celery, and tender carrots.
  • Cook the chicken thoroughly: Chicken should be cooked to an internal temperature of 165 degrees Fahrenheit. This will ensure that it is safe to eat and will help to prevent dry, overcooked chicken.
  • Use a good quality pasta: Spaghetti is a classic choice for chicken spaghetti, but you can also use other types of pasta, such as penne or rotini. Choose a pasta that is made with high-quality ingredients and that holds its shape well.
  • Don't overcook the pasta: Pasta should be cooked al dente, which means it should be tender but still have a slight bite to it. Overcooked pasta will be mushy and unappetizing.
  • Add the sauce to the pasta: Once the pasta is cooked, add it to the sauce and stir to combine. This will help to evenly distribute the sauce and prevent the pasta from sticking together.
  • Top with cheese: Parmesan cheese is a classic topping for chicken spaghetti, but you can also use other types of cheese, such as mozzarella or cheddar. Grated cheese will melt and create a creamy, flavorful topping.

Conclusion:

Chicken spaghetti is a delicious and easy-to-make dish that is perfect for a weeknight meal. With a few simple ingredients and a little bit of time, you can create a meal that the whole family will love. So next time you're looking for a quick and easy dinner idea, give chicken spaghetti a try. You won't be disappointed!
