Chicken spaghetti is a unique American saucepan, which epitomizes comfort in a creamy and cheesy sauce: tender noodles and shredded chicken. It’s historically made from canned cream soups and vegetables such as tomatoes or mushrooms, but the one characteristic feature of chicken spaghetti breaks up the spaghetti into small pieces before they’re cooked.
Chicken Spaghetti is one of the easy, cheesy casserole dishes that will soon become your favourite family in your home. It’s in mine, I know! Tender chicken and pasta are sprinkled in a simple homemade cheese sauce and baked. A simple and easy recipe with a lovely snap to the south, yet warm and smooth. An excellent way to use last night’s chicken.
