Recipe: Chicken Spaghetti

After a few of my friends raved about this Pioneer Woman recipe, I had to give it a try. I made a few changes, due mainly to laziness (this is the original recipe, I'll note my changes at the bottom).

Spaghetti Chicken

• 2 cups Cooked Chicken
• 3 cups Dry Spaghetti, Broken Into Two Inch Pieces
• 2 cans Cream Of Mushroom Soup
• 2 cups Grated Sharp Cheddar Cheese
• ¼ cups Finely Diced Green Pepper
• ¼ cups Finely Diced Onion
• 1 jar (4 Ounce) Diced Pimentos, Drained
• 2 cups Reserved Chicken Broth From Pot
• 1 teaspoon Lawry's Seasoned Salt
• ⅛ teaspoons (to 1/4 Teaspoon) Cayenne Pepper
• Salt And Pepper, to taste
• 1 cup Additional Grated Sharp Cheddar Cheese

Preparation Instructions

Cook 1 cut up fryer and pick out the meat to make two cups. Cook spaghetti in same chicken broth until al dente. Do not overcook. When spaghetti is cooked, combine with remaining ingredients except additional 1 cup sharp cheddar.

Place mixture in casserole pan and top with remaining sharp cheddar. Cover and freeze up to six months, cover and refrigerate up to two days, or bake immediately: 350 degrees for 45 minutes until bubbly. (If the cheese on top starts to get too cooked, cover with foil).

Changes:

The chicken: I can barely handle looking at chicken breasts, let alone a whole dead chicken, so I stuck with what I knew instead of frying up a whole chicken. I cooked 2 breasts and chopped them up.

Broth: since I didn't cook a whole chicken, I had no broth to speak of, so I just cooked the spaghetti in some chicken broth from cans.

Cream soup: I used cream of chicken, instead of cream of mushroom

Enjoy!! :)
