Instructions:

1. Cook the Spaghetti:

  • Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil and cook the spaghetti according to the package directions until al dente. Drain and set aside.

2. Prepare the Sauce:

  • While the pasta is cooking, heat a large skillet over medium heat. Add a little butter or oil and sauté the diced onion until softened, about 5 minutes.
  • Add the minced garlic and cook for another minute until fragrant.
  • Stir in the cream of mushroom soup, diced tomatoes (drained), chicken broth, and milk. Stir until well combined and heated through.
  • Season the sauce with Italian seasoning, paprika, salt, and pepper to taste.

3. Combine Chicken and Pasta:

  • Add the shredded chicken to the sauce and stir to combine. Let the chicken heat through, about 3-5 minutes.
  • Add the cooked spaghetti to the sauce and mix well, ensuring the pasta is fully coated.

4. Bake the Chicken Spaghetti:

  • Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
  • Pour the chicken spaghetti mixture into a greased 9×13-inch baking dish.
  • Top with shredded cheddar cheese and grated Parmesan cheese.
  • Drizzle the melted butter over the top of the cheese.

5. Bake:

  • Bake in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and bubbly, and the top is lightly golden brown.

6. Serve:

  • Remove the chicken spaghetti from the oven and let it cool for a few minutes before serving.
  • Garnish with fresh herbs (like parsley or basil) or more cheese if desired.
