Who Doesn't love Chicken Spaghetti

My kids of course..........

When I was a kid my friends mom made this all the time and I remember loving it. I mean it's basically Chicken, Spaghetti and Rotel Cheese dip!

I'm trying to make new things and dinners that we can eat left overs even...especially on the weekends when I don't have time to put something together after our busy Saturday's with Parkour and Soccer Games.

I've basically come to the conclusion my kids just don't like Casseroles because this wasn't the first time and if it's not Pizza or Mac and Cheese then forget it!

Anyways, for those of you that did grow up on this and loved it or may be looking for something easy but good (the adults loved it) then this is for you..

Enjoy!

WHAT YOU WILL NEED:
*1 package of spaghetti
*1 lb of Fresh Chicken tenders to grill
*2 Tbsp of Butter
*16 oz of Velveeta Cheese ( I bought the large box because when you heat it up the next day you may want to melt some more with milk and add it to the casserole...this is not necessary but suggested)
*1 10oz can of Rotel ( I bought mild)
*1 10oz can of Cream of Chicken
*1 cup of Milk
*1/2 Teaspoon of Cumin 
*1 cup of Mild Cheddar Cheese
*Salt and pepper to taste (at your desired amount)

Optional:
2 Tbsp of Sriracha or Hot Sauce (I didn't use because of the kids)
1 Cup of bread crumbs ( i didn't use because the kids don't like crunchy stuff, however I will next time!)

forgot to take a picture of my chicken, but here it is in the pan :)
 TO DO:

*Grill your chicken on medium heat. You can season it if you want, however it's best if you don't. 
*In a Large pot, melt 2TBSP of butter first. Once melted add Cheese, Soup, Rotel, and 1 cup of Milk and 1/2 tsp of Cumin
*Make sure you keep stirring because the cheese will start to stick to the bottom of the pot and burn. It's all about timing. 

at the same time you need to be boiling your spaghetti too

Once your Chicken is grilled, cut it up and add it to the Cheese Mix along with your noodles


 Once everything is mixed in, pour into a dish. FIRST spray the pan with oil :)

Don't forget the cheese!!!!

Bake at 350 for 30 minutes and Dinner is served :)
The messy dinners always taste the best :)

Thank you for reading
Goodnight
