Chicken Spaghetti FAQ
1. Can I use a pasta other than Spaghetti? You can! You could use angel hair, linguine, or fettuccine.
2. How long does it take to cook Chicken Spaghetti? This Chicken Spaghetti casserole cooks for 30 minutes in a 350F. oven.
3. Can Chicken Spaghetti be frozen for later? It can be! Just don’t bake it and once it’s all mixed together, pop it into the freezer. Make freezing casseroles like this even easier by lining your casserole dish with foil before filling it. Then once you fill the casserole dish, cover and freeze it in the casserole dish for a few hours or until solid. Then remove complete casserole in the foil from the dish. Place foil lined casserole in a freezer bag and then back into the freezer. When it’s time to get, just remove it from the bag and pop that frozen foil lined casserole back into a casserole dish and bake until hot.

I have never had chicken spaghetti either but this looks so nice and creamy and flavorful. Pinned.
Please specify if the canned tomatoes should drained OR undrained. Recipe does not specify.
Thank you.
Hi they are not drained 🙂 If there where to be drained I would have added that part 😉 I normally just type out what the ingredient is “as is” unless it needs to be changed for the recipe.
I love your recipe. Thats look really delicious and yummy. Thanks for sharing this recipe.
This is an incredible recipe. So creamy and tasty. I used chicken that I had smoked in my big green egg. I just shredded it. I cooked garlic and onion in butter and I added sweet peppers that were left over in my fridge and I added a can of cut up artichokes, fresh basil, and fresh oregano from my garden. Truly a keeper. This is now my permanent chicken spaghetti recipe.
Thanks for sharing this yummy, creamy, tasty recipe. Definitely gonna try it soon. Pinned!
