Velveeta Chicken Spaghetti

By á-2908

Ingredients

• 1/2 cup Bell pepper
• 1/2 cup Oleo or olive oil
• 1 medium Onion
• 2 12-oz cans Chicken broth
• 1 12-oz can Cream of chicken soup
• 1 12-oz can Cream of mushroom soup
• 3 cups Diced cooked chicken
• 1 16-oz can Rotel tomatoes
• 1 pound Thin spaghetti
• 1/2 pound Velveeta cheese
• Salt and pepper
• 1 12-oz can Mushrooms
• 1 12-oz can Black pitted olives

Preparation

Step 1

In a large skillet or cooking pot, saute bell pepper and onion in oleo (or olive oil if you prefer).

Add 1 can of chicken broth and chicken. Simmer until tender. Cut chicken into bite-size pieces as it's cooking. Use 3 cups of chicken. (I've used packaged chicken tenderloins, as well as pre-cooked chicken from the deli. Whatever is convenient. It's all good.)

Add all soups and Ro-tel tomatoes. Stir well. Simmer for about 15 minutes until chicken is done.

Cook the spaghetti in boiling water or chicken broth until just slightly cooked "al dente" - you don't want to over-cook it because it will be cooking more in the oven. Drain, rinse, and set aside until you are ready to mix with chicken/sauce ingredients in baking dish for the oven.

In a large baking dish or oven-proof pot, place the cooked and cut up chicken, cooked spaghetti, salt and pepper, cheese, and soup mixture.

Depending on how creamy you like this dish, you may want to add extra chicken broth before you bake. (I always do).

Stir very well to mix all ingredients evenly. I usually stir once after about 15 minutes in the oven - after the cheese has had time to melt. Bake at 375 degrees for 30 minutes
