Chicken spaghetti with Rotel is the ultimate Southern comfort food — creamy, cheesy, just a little spicy, and ready in 30 minutes. This is the chicken spaghetti recipe everyone keeps asking me for.
This easy chicken spaghetti uses Rotel tomatoes for just the right amount of kick. It's a great way to use up leftover chicken, feeds a crowd without breaking the bank, and tastes like someone's mama made it — even if you're just getting dinner on the table on a Tuesday.
I've made this for potlucks, church dinners, and those "I have no idea what's for dinner" nights. Every single time, the pan is empty before I even sit down.
🍝 Why you'll love this chicken spaghetti recipe:
Ready in just 30 minutes
Uses rotisserie or leftover chicken
Creamy, cheesy, just the right amount of spice
Easy dinner idea the whole family will love

1.5 pounds boneless chicken breast, or more if desired cooked and shredded or cubed
16 ounces spaghetti, broken in 2-inch pieces
29 ounces cream of chicken soup, (2 - 14.5-ounce cans condensed)
10 ounces diced tomatoes & green chiles (I use Rotel tomatoes)
6 ounces cream cheese (I use Philadelphia brand - and recommend it)
3 cups Cheddar cheese, shredded from a block - divided use (12 ounces total)
¼ cup heavy cream, you can use milk if you prefer
1 cup bell peppers and onions mixed
Instructions
Cook the chicken breast if it's raw then dice or shred it and set aside - or used cooked rotisserie chicken.
If using fresh onions and peppers saute them in a little butter until soft.
Break the spaghetti into 2-inch pieces and cook until tender in boiling, salted water.
Drain and set aside.
Mix the soup, RoTel, and cream cheese in a microwave safe dish.
Heat, stirring every minute, until the mixture is smooth and creamy.
Stir in 2 cups of the cheese.
Stir until smooth. You may need to add some milk or cream to thin it down if it seems too thick.
Stir the cooked chicken into the cheese mixture.
Stir the pasta, onions and peppers into the chicken and cheese mixture.
Spoon into a greased 13x9-inch casserole dish.
Top with remaining 1 cup cheese.
You may stop here, cover with plastic wrap then aluminum foil, and freeze for up to 3 months or refrigerate a day or two until ready to bake.
Bake at 350F 20 minutes or until heated through and the cheese has melted.
Remove from the oven.
Let stand for about 5 minutes for the cheese to settle then serve hot.
