  • 1 lb spaghetti
  • 1 can condensed cream of mushroom soup (10.75 oz)
  • 1 can condensed cream of chicken soup (10.75 oz)
  • 1.5 cups chicken broth
  • 0.5 cup heavy cream

  • 2 cups shredded mozzarella cheese
  • 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese Can use low-fat version
  • 1 tsp garlic powder
  • 1 tsp onion powder

  • 0.5 tsp Italian seasoning

Method
 

Preparation
  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F. Grease a 9x13 casserole dish with olive oil or cooking spray.
  2. Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Cook the spaghetti for 12 minutes or until al dente. Reserve 1 cup of pasta water, then drain and rinse the noodles under cold water to stop the cooking process.
  3. In a large bowl, combine the mushroom soup, chicken soup, chicken broth, heavy cream, and sour cream.
  4. Add garlic powder, onion powder, salt, black pepper, and Italian seasoning to the mixture. Mix in the chopped chicken thoroughly.
  5. Gently fold the cooked spaghetti into the creamy sauce mixture. If it seems a bit dry, add the reserved pasta water to loosen it up.
  6. Transfer half of the chicken and pasta mixture to the greased baking dish. Sprinkle 1 cup of mozzarella cheese and 1/2 cup of cheddar on top. Layer the remaining chicken and pasta mixture and finish with the rest of the mozzarella and cheddar.
Baking
  1. Place the dish in the preheated oven and bake for 35-45 minutes, or until it’s hot, bubbly, and the cheese is melted.
Serving
  1. Allow the casserole to sit for 5 minutes before garnishing with fresh parsley. Serve with garlic bread, green beans, or a side salad.
