Step 2: Cook the Spaghetti
Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil.
Add 12 oz of spaghetti and cook until al dente, following the package directions (usually about 8–10 minutes).
Drain and set aside.
Tip: Don’t overcook the pasta—it will continue cooking in the oven.
Step 3: Sauté the Veggies
Heat a skillet over medium heat.
Add a bit of olive oil or butter, then sauté ½ cup diced green bell pepper and ½ cup diced onion for about 4–5 minutes, or until softened and slightly translucent.
This sauté step adds extra depth and sweetness to your bake.
Step 4: Mix the Creamy Sauce
In a large mixing bowl, combine:
1 can cream of chicken soup
1 can cream of mushroom soup
1 cup sour cream
1 tsp garlic powder
1 tsp paprika
Salt and pepper to taste
Mix until the sauce is completely smooth. You can thin the sauce slightly with ¼ cup chicken broth if it seems too thick.
Step 5: Combine Everything
To the sauce bowl, add:
The cooked and drained spaghetti
2 cups shredded chicken
The sautéed veggies
1½ cups of shredded cheddar cheese
Mix thoroughly until everything is evenly coated.
