Ingredients
  

Pasta and Chicken
  • 3 cups cooked chicken (chopped or shredded)
  • 1 lb spaghetti
Creamy Base
  • 1 can (10.75 oz) condensed cream of mushroom soup
  • 1 can (10.75 oz) condensed cream of chicken soup
  • 1.5 cups chicken broth
  • 0.5 cup heavy cream
  • 1.5 cups sour cream
Cheese
  • 2 cups shredded mozzarella cheese
  • 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
Spices
  • 1 tsp garlic powder
  • 1 tsp onion powder
  • 0.5 tsp Italian seasoning
  • Salt and black pepper to taste

Method
 

Preparation
  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Lightly grease a 9x13 casserole dish with olive oil or cooking spray and set it aside.
  2. In a large pot, bring salted water to a boil. Cook the spaghetti for about 12 minutes until al dente. Remember to reserve 1 cup of pasta water before draining and rinsing the spaghetti with cold water to halt the cooking process.
  3. In a large mixing bowl, combine the cream of mushroom soup, cream of chicken soup, chicken broth, heavy cream, and sour cream. Stir until everything is nicely blended.
  4. Season the mixture with garlic powder, onion powder, Italian seasoning, salt, and pepper. Add the chopped chicken and mix thoroughly.
  5. Gently fold in the cooked spaghetti until it's all coated in that creamy goodness. If it feels a bit dry, add in the reserved pasta water.
Layering and Baking
  1. Layer half of the chicken and pasta mixture into the prepared baking dish. Sprinkle 1 cup of mozzarella and ½ cup of cheddar cheese on top.
  2. Pour the remaining chicken and pasta mixture over the cheese layer, then top with the rest of the mozzarella and cheddar.
  3. Bake in the preheated oven for 35-45 minutes until the casserole is bubbling and the cheese is melted and golden.
  4. Let it cool for about 5 minutes before serving.
