Scale
- For the Chicken Spaghetti:
- 4 cups rotisserie chicken (shredded or chunked)
- 12 oz dry spaghetti
- 1 cup chicken stock (divided)
- 10 oz can Rotel tomatoes with green chilies
- 2 cans (10.5 oz each) cream of chicken with herbs condensed soup
- 1 cup sour cream
- 4 garlic cloves (minced)
- 3 cups shredded cheese (Mexican blend or similar)
- 3 tablespoons cajun seasoning (divided)
- 1/2 tsp red pepper flakes
- 1/2 tsp seasoning salt
- 1/2 tsp freshly ground black pepper
- Dried parsley (for garnish)
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C).
- Bring a large pot of water to a boil and cook the spaghetti according to package instructions while preparing the other ingredients.
- Debone the rotisserie chicken and add it to a large bowl. Pour over 1/4 cup chicken broth to moisten the chicken, then sprinkle with about 2 tablespoons of cajun seasoning (or enough to coat the chicken evenly).
- In a large bowl, make the sauce by combining the cream of chicken soup, undrained Rotel, sour cream, garlic, 1 tablespoon cajun seasoning, red pepper flakes, seasoning salt, and cracked pepper. Whisk until smooth.
- Heat 3/4 cup of chicken stock in the microwave for 1 minute (or until warm) and pour into the sauce mixture. Whisk to combine.
- In a 9×13 casserole dish, add the drained spaghetti, seasoned chicken, sauce mixture, and half of the shredded cheese. Use tongs to mix everything together, ensuring the sauce evenly coats the pasta and the chicken is distributed throughout.
- Top with the remaining cheese and sprinkle with dried parsley. Cover with foil (spraying with nonstick spray to prevent cheese from sticking) and bake for 25 minutes. Remove the foil and bake for an additional 10 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and the edges are golden brown and bubbly.
