Ingredients
3–4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts (about 1.5 lbs)
8 oz spaghetti
2 cups shredded sharp cheddar cheese
1 cup fresh bell peppers, chopped
1 can (10.5 oz) cream of chicken soup
1 tsp paprika
1/2 tsp cayenne pepper
1 tsp garlic powder
1/4 cup green onions, sliced
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease a large casserole dish.
- Cook chicken in a skillet over medium heat for 6–7 minutes per side until golden and cooked through. Let cool slightly, then shred.
- Bring salted water to a boil and cook spaghetti until al dente, about 8–10 minutes. Drain and set aside.
- In a large bowl, combine shredded chicken, spaghetti, cream of chicken soup, bell peppers, paprika, cayenne pepper, garlic powder, and half of the cheddar cheese. Mix until evenly coated.
- Transfer mixture into prepared casserole dish and top with remaining cheddar cheese.
- Bake for 25–30 minutes until bubbly and golden brown.
- Remove from oven, let rest for 5 minutes, and garnish with sliced green onions before serving.
Notes
Use rotisserie chicken for a faster option.
Swap cheddar for Monterey Jack or pepper jack for a different flavor.
Add jalapeños or Rotel tomatoes for extra spice and tang.
Store leftovers in the fridge for up to 4 days or freeze for up to 2 months.
Reheat in the oven or microwave until heated through.
