Recipe Introduction


Kayb on eG had chicken spaghetti the other night and I was interested. I’d never made it before, but I love creamy casseroles with pasta or rice. I found this one online and was happy to see that it didn’t include any cream of… soup. This has a nice creaminess and tasted great. I cut it in half and that would have easily fed 4, if not 6, so the poster’s judgement of this full recipe serving 6 is a little off, I’d say. Mike thought this could use an increase in the parmesan – maybe half again as much. And it occurred to me, too late to make the adjustment this time, that some shots of hot sauce would be good. I did it without green pepper, but increased the chicken by half.

List of Ingredients




8 oz spaghetti, cooked
2 cups chicken, shredded
1 onion, chopped
1 clove garlic, minced
1/2 green bell pepper, chopped
1 teaspoon Italian seasoning
1/4 cup butter
1/4 cup flour
1 cup chicken broth
3/4 cup light cream [I used half and half]
14 oz diced tomatoes, drained or tomatoes with chilis
salt and pepper
1/2 cup Parmesan cheese, shredded
2 cups sharp cheddar cheese, divided


Recipe



Heat oven to 375F. Spray a 9x13-inch baking dish with cooking spray.

In a saucepan melt the butter. Add the onions and bell pepper and cook until tender. Add the garlic and cook about 30 seconds. Add the flour and seasonings and cook for a few minutes to get a medium roux. Slowly pour in the broth and light cream. Cook, stirring, until thick and bubbly.

Take off the heat and add the Parmesan and half of the Cheddar. Stir until the cheeses have melted and the sauce is smooth. Add salt and pepper to taste.

Mix the spaghetti, chicken, cream sauce and canned tomatoes and pour into the prepared 9x13-inch baking dish. Sprinkle with the other 1 cup of Cheddar. Bake 25-30 minutes. It should be hot and bubbly.

NOTE: I did this in the CSO and had to cover with foil about 10 minutes in to prevent it from over-browning.

Serves 6 (see my remarks above).
