Chicken Spaghetti Recipe

Spaghetti is an easy to make dish that gives children the energy they need. However, not all kids like spaghetti made in the traditional way, with sauce and meatballs. If you are a parent trying to incorporate spaghetti into your child’s diet, this chicken spaghetti recipe may be just the thing.

The origins of chicken spaghetti are unknown, but it is popular in The South and may have originated there. It can best be described as a cheesy casserole made of spaghetti and chicken with some sort of vegetable added.

When prepared as an alternative to spaghetti and meatballs, this can be a heathier option as well. Chicken is leaner and lower in fat than red meat and the addition of vegetables increases the content of vitamins and nutrients. To make the dish even healthier, look into lower fat cheese substitutes.

The classic version uses American cheese, boiled chicken and tomatoes, but there is a lot of room for creativity. Here are some things you can mix with chicken and spaghetti in your recipes:

  • Ripe olives, Velveeta cheese and mushroom soup
  • Tomato soup, chopped vegetables and cheese
  • Stewed tomatoes, green chili peppers and cheese
  • Mushrooms, bell peppers, cheese and homemade sauce
  • Homemade cheese sauce, mushrooms and garlic

Our recipe is for chicken spaghetti made the old fashioned way! With a cheesy, creamy, “chicken-y” sauce mixed throughout with noodles; it’s got all your child’s favorite ingredients with the added bonus of chicken.

The bell pepper is a tasty addition but can be left out without sacrificing taste. You can easily substitute the pepper with broccoli or another vegetable for a slightly different taste that is sure to please even the pickiest eaters.

And the addition of the broth and chicken soup give the dish a rich, creamy texture that will take it to the next level. Bon appetit!

Chicken Spaghetti

3 cups cooked, finely cubed or shredded chicken meat
1 (8 oz.) pkg. spaghetti noodles

4. Season with salt and pepper to taste and mix all together.

5. Spread mixture into the baking dish and bake in the preheated oven for 30 minutes.
