Ingredients needed
- Cooked chicken
- Spaghetti pasta noodles
- Rotel tomatoes and green chilies
- Cream of mushroom
- Velveeta cheese
- Sharp cheddar cheese
Quick tips before starting the recipe
- For a quicker recipe, if you do not have shredded, cooked chicken in the house pick up a rotisserie chicken. Shred and chop the chicken up. Not only will it be simple but the flavor of the rotisserie chicken is amazing.
- Do not bake more than 15 minutes. Pasta noodles are known to soak up all the sauce in a recipe. This will keep the sauce creamy when serving. For leftovers, there isn’t a way to avoid this from happening.
