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.

PASTA WITH CREAMY PUMPKIN SAUCE (FROM EVERYDAY FOOD)
This looks great and easy enough for a fall weeknight! The original recipe called for rosemary, but I am a big fan of pumpkin and basil! This is a great light dinner, or a good side dish. Update: Thanks to Amaze-Ing Me, I went back and tweaked the sauce a bit to make it even better! Update: I made this quicker after needing to rush for dinner one night--you can't even tell the difference! I also added some poached chicken to make it a real one dish meal and it was great!

Tips:
- Use canned pumpkin puree: Fresh pumpkin can be difficult to find and prepare, so canned pumpkin puree is a great substitute. Just make sure to choose a brand that is unsweetened.
- Don't overcook the chicken: Overcooked chicken is tough and dry, so be careful not to cook it for too long.
- Use a good quality Parmesan cheese: The Parmesan cheese adds a lot of flavor to this dish, so it's important to use a good quality cheese.
- Serve immediately: This dish is best served immediately after it is made. The spaghetti will start to absorb the sauce and become mushy if it sits for too long.
Conclusion:
This creamy pumpkin spaghetti with chicken is a delicious and easy-to-make meal that is perfect for a busy weeknight. It's also a great way to use up leftover chicken. The creamy pumpkin sauce is rich and flavorful, and the chicken is tender and juicy. Serve this dish with a side of crusty bread or a salad for a complete meal.
