Ingredients
Scale
- 2 cups cooked chicken, shredded or diced
- 8 oz spaghetti (about half a standard box)
- 1 can (10.5 oz) cream of mushroom soup
- 1 can (14.5 oz) diced tomatoes, drained
- 1 cup bell peppers, diced (any color)
- 1 cup onions, diced
- 2 cups cheddar cheese, shredded
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
- 1 tablespoon olive oil (for sautéing)
- Salt to taste
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
- In a large pot of boiling salted water, cook the spaghetti according to package instructions until al dente. Drain and set aside.
- In a large skillet, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the diced onions and bell peppers. Sauté for about 5-7 minutes, or until the onions are translucent and the peppers are tender.
- In a large mixing bowl, combine the cooked chicken, sautéed vegetables, cooked spaghetti, cream of mushroom soup, diced tomatoes, garlic powder, black pepper, and salt. Mix well until all ingredients are evenly coated.
- Grease a 9×13-inch baking dish with a little olive oil or cooking spray. Pour the chicken and spaghetti mixture into the dish, spreading it out evenly.
- Sprinkle the shredded cheddar cheese evenly over the top of the casserole. Place the casserole in the preheated oven and bake for 25-30 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and bubbly, and the edges are golden brown.
Notes
- Let the casserole cool for a few minutes before slicing.
- Serve warm, garnished with fresh parsley.
- This dish pairs well with a side salad or garlic bread.
- Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
- To reheat, place it in the oven at 350°F (175°C) until warmed through.
