Baked Chicken Spaghetti

By 85 Comments

Spaghetti is a favourite in this house, both the for delicious taste and for the ease on those busy nights. Usually I made spaghetti with {red} meat sauce or meatballs – yet I wanted to try a new variety. You know, keep with the same family-favourite yet jazz it up a little to make it new?!

Baked Chicken Spaghetti is a hearty and delicious meal that became one of our favourites at the very first bite. With a white mushroom-based sauce, this recipe is so full of flavour thanks to the peppers, cheese and spices.

We are a family of 5, and pretty much everyone took another scoopful for seconds and had a bit left over to use as a side the next day. So if you have less members in your family, you could easily take this recipe and just freeze half for later.

In fact, we made this before our Spring trip to Beaches Turks and Caicos. I froze half and on the day we returned, all tired and lazy – this was the perfect meal to take out of the freezer and enjoy.

I also love that the pasta doesn’t get all mushy when baking, nor when re-heating, thanks to how the cheese keeps its crisp. Usually we don’t have spaghetti as leftovers for this reason, yet this one is the exception and I love this recipe for that.

Chicken and Pasta with crispy baked cheese – c’mon, is there really anything better?

Baked Chicken Spaghetti

Ingredients

  • 1/2 onion finely diced
  • 1/2 bell pepper red, green or yellow - I use yellow, finely diced
  • 3 boneless skinless chicken breasts cooked and shredded
  • 3 +1 cups shredded cheese I used marble
  • 2 cans Cream of Mushroom Soup
  • 12 oz   spaghetti {you will cook *only* to al dente}
  • 1/2 tsp salt
  • 3 tsp black pepper
  • 1 tsp garlic powder

Instructions

  1. Heat your oven to 350 degrees.
  2. Boil water for pasta and cook *only* to al dente. Any more and your baked pasta will be mushy.
  3. Using a pan on the stove and your choice of oil or spray, heat pan to medium heat. Add the onion and pepper and saute the vegetables for five minutes or until they are tender.
  4. Add the shredded cooked chicken until heated through.
  5. Add salt, pepper and garlic powder and mix.
  6. Remove pan from heat and set aside.
  7. Place your drained, al dente spaghetti into a large bowl and add the soup and 3 cups of cheese then mix.
  8. Next, add the chicken mixture to the bowl as well and mix again.
  9. Pour the mixture into a greased pan {you could use two pans if yours are smaller, you judge}
  10. Sprinkle the reserved 1 cup of remaining cheese over the mixture that is in the pan {or sprinkle on both if you separated into 2 pans. And if so, this is the time to cover and freeze one of the batches}
  11. Bake covered for 45 minutes and then take off the cover and bake for an additional 15 minutes to get everything nice and crispy-like.
  12. Once done, enjoy!

    • Sometimes it doesn’t work so well, depending on the recipe – make sure to cook ONLY to al dente and it’ll be fine.
