Chicken Spaghetti

By Jomamma

Ingredients

• 1 package chicken thighs or breasts
• 1 pound spaghetti noodles
• 1/2 a yellow onion, finely chopped
• 1 can diced tomatoes (do not drain)
• 2 cans cream of chicken soup
• 2 cans cream of mushroom soup
• 1 pound of shredded cheddar cheese
• Fresh mushrooms, sliced (optional)

Preparation

Step 1

Boil chicken til done and remove from water (saving water for noodles). If you don’t want to boil the chicken, broil it in the oven.
Boil noodles in broth from chicken.
While noodles are boiling, pull apart or cut up chicken into bite size pieces.
Saute onion,(and sliced mushrooms, if using) in a bit of butter or olive oil and salt, til translucent. Set aside.
When noodles are done, drain.
In a large pan (a very deep 9 X 13 works great), mix together: noodles, soups, onion, half the tomatoes (but all the juice), chicken, salt and pepper.
Once it’s all mixed, pile the cheese on top.
Bake at 375 till bubbly and golden around the edges. (Do yourself a favor and don’t brown the cheese. My kids don’t prefer hard cheese lumps…and neither do I.) Bring on the cheesy goodness!!!!
