Ultimate Chicken Spaghetti

Our days are rarely perfect.  We clash with coworkers, fight traffic, experience loss, the list goes on.  And when things turn sour, we often turn toward the things that make us the happiest.  Family, friends, and food often rank high on the scale.  For many of us, comfort food is where our minds go.  But what is comfort food?  Simply put, it’s food that makes us feel better.  It’s Mom’s chicken soup.  It’s mac and cheese, a steaming bowl of grits or oatmeal, and grilled cheese sandwiches.  Comfort food is made up of dishes that hold memories for us.  Comfort food makes us happy.
With the loss of our sweet family pet recently, comfort food has been on the menu a lot at the Little household.  Sometimes a hearty stick-to-your ribs meal is just what the heart wants.  Yeah, yeah, calories… blah, blah, blah, but still.  Calories don’t count when your heart hurts, right???

For me, one of my favorite comfort foods is the classic chicken spaghetti.  You know which one… Velveeta Cheese and Ro*tel tomatoes.  Yep.  That one.  I just love the stuff.

And that chicken spaghetti made perfect sense when my friends at Family Dollar asked me to show y’all my favorite comfort food dish.  It’s funny because we live out of town a little and the closest thing to us is our Family Dollar store, so I always go by there to grab things for supper.  You’d really be surprised at the selection if you haven’t been in one recently.  They’ve got all the staples covered, and as you can see by this recipe, a whole lot more.  I got everything for this recipe including the frozen chicken breast and the spices!

Ingredients

• 2 pounds frozen boneless skinless chicken breasts
• 1 (16-ounce) package spaghetti
• 1 (10-ounce) can Ro*Tel Tomatoes
• 2 (10.5-ounce) cans cream of mushroom soup
• 1 (16-ounce) package Velveeta cheese
• 4 ounces cream cheese
• 1 teaspoon garlic powder
• 1 teaspoon onion powder
• 1 cup shredded sharp cheddar cheese

Instructions

1. Place the chicken in a large pot and just cover with water. Cook over medium-low heat until cooked through. Try not to boil the chicken as it can make it tough. Allow to cool enough to handle, then shred using two forks.
2. Preheat the oven to 350°F. Lightly grease a 13x9-inch baking dish with nonstick cooking spray.
