If you’re looking for something comforting for dinner that has a little bit of everything, our chicken spaghetti casserole recipe is the right move. Fair warning, this recipe does entail breaking spaghetti noodles into pieces, so if you’re morally against that, there are plenty of fork-twirling spaghetti recipes<\/a> to try instead. Broken noodles aside, this recipe is one of my favorite casserole recipes<\/a> for busy nights, since it comes together in less than an hour.<\/p>\n As with most casseroles, our chicken and spaghetti casserole starts with a can of cream of chicken soup, which gives it a creamy base. Veggies, mushrooms, cheese and chicken fill out the rest of the dish, and then it’s topped with more cheese partway through baking.<\/p>\n Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil, and cook the spaghetti according to the package directions.<\/p>\n Meanwhile, in a large bowl, combine the chicken, soup, milk, onion, 1\/2 cup cheddar cheese, 1\/2 cup Swiss cheese, mushrooms, peppers, mayonnaise, steak seasoning and dried basil. Mix well until all the ingredients are incorporated.<\/p>\n Drain the spaghetti and add it to the chicken mixture.<\/p>\n Toss to coat everything fully, then transfer the mixture to a greased 13×9-inch baking dish. Cover and bake at 350\u00b0F for 20 minutes.<\/p>\n After 20 minutes, uncover the dish and sprinkle the remaining cheeses over the top. Bake until it’s fully heated through and the cheese is melted, 5 to 10 minutes longer.<\/p>\n Casseroles are great to store in their own containers, leaving one less dish for you to have to wash. The chicken and spaghetti casserole will last for up to five days in the fridge, just make sure to put a lid on it or cover it tightly in storage wrap.<\/p>\n You can definitely freeze chicken spaghetti casserole, either after it’s been baked or before baking. For freezing the whole casserole before it’s cooked, just assemble the casserole in the dish, cover it or wrap it tightly in storage wrap, then freeze it for up to three months. If it’s already baked, you can freeze individual slices wrapped in storage wrap for a quick meal. When you’re ready to eat, let a slice thaw overnight in the fridge before reheating.<\/p>\n Reheat any thawed casserole in the oven at 350\u00b0 until it’s bubbling around the sides and heated all the way through. If it’s still frozen, you can reheat it, just cook it covered and add some extra cooking time.<\/p>\n If you don’t have any leftover chicken to use for this chicken spaghetti casserole recipe, you have a couple of options. You can roast a whole chicken<\/a>\u00a0or you can make some poached chicken<\/a> breasts in heavily seasoned water with aromatics. Or, you can skip cooking chicken altogether and buy a rotisserie chicken from the grocery store.<\/p>\n Use this recipe for chicken spaghetti casserole as your main course, and serve it alongside something simple and green. Check out our easy guide for some tips on how to cook peas<\/a>, one of my favorite sides. Or learn how to steam vegetables<\/a>, even without a steamer basket, for steamed broccoli or cauliflower.<\/p>\n For that perfect casserole texture, let your chicken spaghetti casserole rest for 5 to 10 minutes before serving it. This will allow the creamy base to set so you can scoop into it and it’ll hold together. Digging in too soon after removing it from the oven may lead to a runny casserole.<\/p>\n\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Chicken spaghetti casserole is such a fun way to serve spaghetti noodles.
