# Ingredients:

→ For the Casserole

01 - 1 lb spaghetti
02 - 2 cups milk
03 - 2 (10.5 oz) cans cream of chicken soup
04 - 1 (10 oz) can Rotel (diced tomatoes and green chilies)
05 - 8 oz Queso Blanco Velveeta (or regular Velveeta)
06 - 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese, divided
07 - 1/2 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
08 - 1/4 cup sour cream
09 - 3 cups cooked chicken (rotisserie chicken works great)
10 - 3 to 4 tablespoons French's fried onions

→ For Seasonings

11 - Salt and pepper to taste
12 - Garlic powder to taste
13 - Onion powder to taste

# Instructions:

01 - Break the spaghetti in half and cook for about 2 minutes less than the package directions say for al dente. Drain and return to the pot.
02 - Add the milk, cream of chicken soup, Rotel, Velveeta, half of the cheddar cheese (1/2 cup), mozzarella cheese, sour cream, and cooked chicken to the pot with the drained spaghetti. Stir continuously over medium heat until all the cheese is melted and everything is well combined. Season with salt, pepper, garlic powder, and onion powder to taste.
03 - Spread the mixture into a greased 9x13 inch baking dish. Top with the remaining 1/2 cup of cheddar cheese and the fried onions.
04 - Bake at 350 degrees for about 15 minutes, until the cheese is melted and the fried onions are golden brown.
05 - Let cool for a few minutes, then serve hot. This creamy, cheesy chicken spaghetti is pure comfort food!

# Notes:

01 - Rotisserie chicken makes this super easy - you need about one whole rotisserie chicken for 3 cups.
02 - Cooking the spaghetti 2 minutes less than al dente prevents it from getting mushy when baked.
03 - Rotel adds great flavor with the tomatoes and green chilies - use mild or original depending on your heat preference.
04 - The fried onions on top add a delicious crunchy texture!
05 - This is perfect for feeding a crowd or for meal prep - it reheats beautifully.
