It’s a Southern favorite for good reason: it feeds a crowd, reheats beautifully, and tastes even better the next day.
Yield and Timing
Serves 6–8 people
Prep time: 15 minutes
Bake time: 30–35 minutes
Ingredients
- 12 oz spaghetti, broken in half
- 3 cups cooked chicken, shredded or diced
- 1 can (10.5 oz) cream of chicken soup
- 1 can (10.5 oz) cream of mushroom soup
- 1 cup sour cream
- 2 cups shredded cheddar cheese, divided
- ½ cup chicken broth
- ½ teaspoon garlic powder
- ½ teaspoon onion powder
- ½ teaspoon black pepper
- Optional: ½ cup diced tomatoes with green chilies (like Rotel) for a little kick
Preparation
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Lightly grease a 9×13-inch baking dish.
Cook the spaghetti according to package directions until just al dente. Drain and set aside.
In a large bowl, combine the cream of chicken soup, cream of mushroom soup, sour cream, chicken broth, garlic powder, onion powder, and black pepper. Stir until smooth.
Add the cooked chicken, drained spaghetti, and 1½ cups of the shredded cheese. Mix until everything is evenly coated.
Spread the mixture into the prepared baking dish. Sprinkle the remaining cheese evenly over the top.
Bake for 30–35 minutes, or until hot and bubbly and the cheese on top is melted and lightly golden.
Let rest for 5–10 minutes before serving.
Serving Suggestions
Serve Creamy Chicken Spaghetti Casserole with a simple green salad, garlic bread, or steamed vegetables. It’s hearty enough to stand alone but pairs beautifully with lighter sides.
