CHICKEN SPAGHETTI



Chicken Spaghetti image

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.

Categories     main-dish

Time 1h40m

Yield 8 servings

Number Of Ingredients 10

1 whole raw chicken, cut into 8 pieces
1 pound thin spaghetti, broken into 2-inch pieces
2 1/2 cups shredded sharp Cheddar
1/4 cup finely diced green bell pepper
1/4 cup finely diced red bell pepper
1 teaspoon seasoned salt
1/8 to 1/4 teaspoon cayenne pepper
Two 10 3/4-ounce cans cream of mushroom soup
1 medium onion, finely diced
Salt and freshly ground black pepper

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F.
  • Bring a large pot of water to a boil. Add the chicken pieces to the boiling water and boil for a few minutes, then return the heat to medium-low and simmer, 30 to 45 minutes.
  • 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.
  • Place the mixture in a casserole pan and top with the remaining 1 cup cheese. Cover and freeze up to 6 months, cover and refrigerate up to 2 days or bake immediately until bubbly, about 45 minutes. (If the cheese on top starts to get too cooked, cover with foil).

CHICKEN SPAGHETTI



Chicken Spaghetti image

Provided by Food Network

Time 1h25m

Yield 8 servings

Number Of Ingredients 16

8 ounces spaghetti
2 cups grape tomatoes, halved lengthwise
2 jalapenos, stemmed, seeded, and halved lengthwise
4 cloves garlic, left whole
1/2 yellow onion
2 tablespoons (1/4 stick) unsalted butter
2 tablespoons all-purpose flour
2 cups whole milk, plus more as needed
2 cups (8 ounces) shredded cheddar cheese
2 cups (8 ounces) shredded Monterey Jack cheese
1/2 teaspoon ground cumin
1/4 teaspoon cayenne
1/2 cup chopped fresh cilantro, plus more for garnishing
2 teaspoons fresh lime juice
Salt and black pepper
4 cups shredded cooked chicken

Steps:

  • Lightly grease a 9-by-13-inch baking dish. Line a baking sheet with foil.
  • Cook the spaghetti according to the package instructions in a large pot of boiling salted water. Drain, rinse, and transfer the spaghetti to the baking dish.
  • Meanwhile, turn on the broiler and place a rack 6 inches away from the heating element. Place the grape tomatoes and jalapenos on the prepared baking sheet, skin side up, along with the whole garlic cloves and onion. Broil, for 5 to 7 minutes, until the tomatoes, jalapenos, garlic, and onion are softened and have begun to blacken. Remove from the oven, and when cool enough to handle, dice the tomatoes, jalapenos, garlic, and onion.
  • Turn the oven temperature down to 350 degrees F.
  • To make the sauce for the spaghetti, in a saucepan, melt the butter over medium-low heat. Whisk in the flour until well combined and slightly browned, about 30 seconds. Slowly pour in the milk and cook, stirring, until the sauce thickens just a bit, 3 to 5 minutes. (You want it to coat the back of your spoon, but not be too thick, like custard. If it gets too thick, you can slowly add more milk, about a teaspoon at a time.)
  • Once the sauce thickens, immediately turn off the heat and slowly stir in half of the cheeses, about 1/4 cup at a time, until melted and incorporated into the sauce. Stir in the diced vegetables, along with the cumin, cayenne, cilantro, and lime juice. Taste and adjust the seasonings, adding salt and black pepper to taste. Pour the sauce into the cooked spaghetti and then stir in the shredded cooked chicken. Cover the spaghetti with the remaining cheeses.
  • Bake, uncovered, for 20 minutes, or until brown and bubbling. Garnish with cilantro before serving.

CREAMY CHICKEN SPAGHETTI



Creamy Chicken Spaghetti image

Great creamy chicken spaghetti dinner kids will love! Garnish with freshly grated Parmesan cheese and serve with a salad and hot garlic bread.

Provided by whaussies

Categories     Main Dish Recipes     Pasta     Spaghetti Recipes     Chicken

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 for the best flavor. This means using fresh vegetables, herbs, and chicken. If you can, try to buy organic or locally grown ingredients.
  • Don't overcook the chicken. Chicken breast is a lean meat, so it can easily become dry and tough if it's overcooked. Cook it until it reaches an internal temperature of 165 degrees Fahrenheit.
  • Use a good quality cheddar cheese. The cheddar cheese is one of the key ingredients in this dish, so it's important to use a good quality cheese. Look for a sharp cheddar that has a bold flavor.
  • Don't be afraid to experiment. This recipe is a great starting point, but you can feel free to add your own personal touches. Try adding different vegetables, herbs, or spices. You can also use different types of pasta, such as penne or macaroni.

Conclusion:

Cheddar chicken spaghetti is a delicious and comforting dish that is perfect for a weeknight meal. It's easy to make and can be tailored to your own personal preferences. So next time you're looking for a quick and easy dinner, give cheddar chicken spaghetti a try.
