CHICKEN SPAGHETTI CASSEROLE (TASTE OF HOME)



Chicken Spaghetti Casserole (Taste of Home) image

Made this tonight for the family and it was all thumbs up around the table. Very good, quick and easy to make and flavorful. This is a "Taste of Home Recipe." I'm going to write it exactly as written in the magazine, although I did make some minor changes that I will add here: Instead of spaghetti, I used Angel Hair Pasta, which is what we prefer in a dish like this. I used a sweet red pepper that was not roasted although I did chop and saute it along with the chopped onion, mushrooms and garlic. Garlic was not a listed ingredient in the original recipe, but I add it to almost everything. The recipe did not call for sauteeing the vegetables, but I usually do because I prefer to be certain that they are tender, not crisp to the bite. I'm not fond of biting into raw/crisp onions and peppers. I also feel that flavors blend better when sauteed together. I used a cheddar/jack cheese blend rather than sharp cheddar and Swiss cheeses only because it's what I had on hand. I'm sure that the this recipe would be wonderful as written, but I guarantee it's great with my changes as well. Enjoy!

SCALLOPED CHICKEN

Time 3h

Tips:

  • Mise en Place: Before you start cooking, make sure you have all the necessary ingredients and equipment ready. This will help you stay organized and avoid scrambling during the cooking process.
  • Choosing the Right Pasta: Use a short pasta like penne or macaroni for this casserole. These shapes hold the sauce well and won't get too mushy.
  • Cooking the Pasta: Cook the pasta according to the package instructions, but be sure to drain it al dente (still slightly firm to the bite). This will prevent it from becoming too soft and mushy in the casserole.
  • Making the Sauce: The creamy sauce is made with a simple combination of butter, flour, milk, and cheese. Be sure to whisk the sauce constantly while it's cooking to prevent lumps from forming.
  • Layering the Casserole: Start by spreading a layer of sauce in the bottom of a greased 9x13 inch baking dish. Then, add a layer of pasta, followed by a layer of chicken, and then another layer of sauce. Repeat these layers until you've used up all of the ingredients.
  • Baking the Casserole: Bake the casserole in a preheated oven at 350°F for 30-35 minutes, or until the sauce is bubbly and the chicken is cooked through.
  • Serving the Casserole: Let the casserole cool for a few minutes before serving. Garnish with chopped parsley or basil, if desired.

Conclusion:

Scalloped chicken spaghetti casserole is a delicious and comforting dish that's perfect for a weeknight meal. It's easy to make and can be tailored to your own preferences. Whether you like your casserole cheesy, creamy, or saucy, this recipe has you covered. So next time you're looking for a quick and easy meal, give this scalloped chicken spaghetti casserole a try.
