Ingredients
8 servings
- •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
Instructions
- 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.
