Easy, Budget-Friendly & Flavorful Green Chile Chicken Spagetti

June 27, 2013

This dish is inexpensive and can be prepared in advance for a great weeknight family meal or something to bring to a friend in need! The green chile adds wonderful spice and flavor.

About 3 cups of cooked, chopped chicken
1 can cream of chicken soup
3-5 whole roasted green chiles, peeled, stems & seeds removed, & diced- these can be bought canned if you cannot find them fresh. You can find them mild, medium, or hot, so you can tailor your dish to your personal taste. I prefer hot!
1 1/2 cup shredded sharp cheddar cheese
1/2 box of thin whole wheat spaghetti, broken into thirds (the box I used was 13.25 oz.), cooked just short of al dente
Seasonings- salt & pepper, chile powder, cumin, season salt, garlic powder, & onion powder
Chopped fresh cilantro

In a bowl, combine chicken, soup, green chiles, 1/2 cup cheese, noodles & a dash of each seasoning (or to taste). Spray an 8 x 8 inch baking dish with cooking spray. Place noodle mixture in dish....
