Chicken Spaghetti

This is another one of our family favorites from growing up!  My mom used to make this with that great garlic toasted bread I have  listed under breads!  Of course I do the same!!  They just go hand and hand but If I"m in a hurry I will just make some quick garlic bread slapping some butter and Lawry's garlic salt on a thick piece of bread then toasting it until the butter is bubbly and the bread is browned slightly!

I like to serve my chicken spaghetti right out of the pan but if you like yours more in a casserole form you can just pour it into a 9X13 pan and top it with some freshly shredded cheddar cheese then bake at 350 for about 20 minutes until cheese is melted.  My mom always served it out of the pan and it's so creamy and hot!  My sister Julie I believe pours it into a casserole dish then tops with cheese.. I think my other sister Tammy does it like my mom and I but I'm going to have to ask her!  Either way works!!

You can also add other cheeses with the Velveeta if you like things cheesier!

Boil chicken in water ...I have 3 in here but you can't really see the 3rd one!

boil spaghetti according to package...look at all that starch!  I use either regular spaghetti or thin spaghetti....angel hair spaghetti is to thin for this...just fyi.  When spaghetti is done drain in a colander and place back in pan.

Cut up Velveeta and set aside

Saute green peppers &onion for 3 to 4 minutes then add garlic.  Saute till tender

Shred or chopped chicken

add cheese, chicken, chicken broth (I have a cup in here I reserved from the chicken I boiled), saute mixture, pepper, lawry's garlic salt, worcestershire sauce and cream of mushroom and chicken soup.  Let it simmer on med heat till cheese is melted and things are blended about 10 to 15 mins

Dinner's ready!
