Ingredients
  

  • 12 oz spaghetti
  • 2 cups cooked chicken shredded
  • 1 can 10.5 oz cream of chicken soup
  • 1 can 10.5 oz cream of mushroom soup
  • 1 can 10 oz Ro-Tel tomatoes and green chilies, undrained
  • 1 cup chicken broth
  • 1 cup sour cream
  • 2 cups shredded cheddar cheese
  • 1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese

  • 1 onion diced
  • 2 cloves garlic minced
  • 2 tbsp butter
  • 1 tsp chili powder
  • 1/2 tsp cayenne pepper optional, for extra spice

Instructions
 

  • Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
  • Cook the spaghetti according to the package instructions. Drain and set aside.
  • In a large skillet, melt the butter over medium heat. Add the diced onion and bell pepper, and cook until softened, about 5 minutes. Add the minced garlic and cook for another 1 minute.
  • Stir in the shredded chicken, cream of chicken soup, cream of mushroom soup, Ro-Tel tomatoes, chicken broth, and sour cream. Mix until well combined.
  • Add the chili powder, cayenne pepper (if using), salt, and pepper. Stir to combine.
  • Gradually add the cooked spaghetti to the mixture, stirring to coat the pasta evenly with the sauce.
  • Pour half of the spaghetti mixture into a greased 9x13 inch baking dish. Sprinkle with half of the cheddar and mozzarella cheese.
  • Add the remaining spaghetti mixture on top and sprinkle with the remaining cheese.
  • Bake in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and bubbly.
  • Remove from the oven and let it sit for a few minutes before serving.
