Chicken Spaghetti

Instructions

    • Bring a large pot of salted water to boil. Cook the pasta al dente according to package instructions. Drain the pasta well.
    • Meanwhile, melt the butter in a large ovenproof skillet over medium heat. Cook the onion until soft, stirring frequently. Reduce the heat to low and add the garlic. Cook for 1 minute while stirring.
    • Sprinkle the mixture with flour and cook for 2 minutes while stirring several times. Slowly whisk in 2 cups of chicken broth, seasoned salt, black pepper, and ground cayenne pepper.
    • Whisk in 1 1/2 cups shredded cheddar until melted. Add the drained spaghetti, cooked diced chicken, and drained Rotel tomatoes.
  • Top with the remaining cheddar and bake for 20-25 minutes or until the cheese is melted and the dish is heated. For the best results, enjoy promptly.

Notes

  • If you don’t have an ovenproof skillet, transfer everything to a 9×13-inch baking dish after step #4.
  • If the sauce becomes too thick, thin the dish with the additional chicken broth. Add a couple of tablespoons at a time until you reach the desired consistency.
  • Don’t overcook the spaghetti. Cook according to al dente instructions as the spaghetti is baked in the oven.
  • To add a little heat, increase the cayenne pepper a bit, add minced jalapeno, or add a little hot sauce.
