  • 6 sliced white button mushrooms
  • 1 tsp. salt
  • 1/4 tsp. pepper

Instructions
 

  • Preheat the oven to 350 degrees.

    Remove from the pan, shred or cut into bite-sized pieces, and set aside.
  • Cook the spaghetti. Bring a large pot of water to a boil, add the spaghetti noodles, and cook according to the al dente stage package directions.
    Drain noodles and add to a 9×13 baking dish.
  • Cook the veggies. Melt the remaining three tablespoons of butter in the same pan over medium heat. Add the chopped onion and cook for two minutes. Add the minced garlic and cook for one more minute.
    Add the chopped green peppers and sliced mushrooms and cook for five minutes.
  • Make the sauce. Add the undrained Rotel tomatoes, undrained stewed tomatoes, cream of chicken soup, cubed Velveeta, salt, and pepper. Stir and let the Velveeta melt and mix until all is combined.
  • Add the cut up or shredded chicken to the pan and stir until combined.
  • Pour the chicken and vegetable sauce mixture over the cooked spaghetti in the casserole dish and mix.
  • Bake uncovered for 30 minutes. Remove from the oven and enjoy a Texas-sized serving!

Notes

  • Feel free to use chicken breasts, tenderloins, rotisserie chicken, or leftover chicken in place of chicken thighs.
  • Cut up the stewed tomatoes before adding them if you'd like smaller pieces.
