Pin This RecipeI have Mama Hen to thank you for this wonderful dish. She made a version of this for dinner and just raved about it. When she told me what it was, I thought it sounded a lot like King Ranch Chicken but with spaghetti. I LOVE King Ranch Chicken so I knew that I would love this! I was right; this is awesome!
I made this for dinner the night before Chicken Legs went out of town and I ate leftovers for lunch and dinner the next day! It is that good! Give it a try. It is really a quick dish to make, especially if you use rotisserie chicken or pre-cook the chicken.
Rotel Chicken Spaghetti
Ingredients:
- 3-4 large boneless chicken breasts, about 2 pounds
- 1 (10.5-oz) can Unsalted Cream of Chicken Soup
- 1 (10-oz) can Rotel Diced Tomatoes with Green Chilies, undrained
- ½ tsp garlic powder
- ½ tsp onion powder
- 1 Tbsp butter
- 1 (8-oz ) package Velveeta cheese, cubed
- 8- oz spaghetti, cooked and drained
Instructions:
- Preheat oven to 350ºF.
- Cut up chicken into small bite-size pieces.
- In a large skillet melt butter. Add cubed chicken, garlic and onion powder. Cook over medium-high heat until chicken is no longer pink and no liquid is left in the skillet.
- Stir in soup, Velveeta cheese, and Rotel Tomatoes. Reduce heat to low, and cook until the cheese melts, stirring constantly.
- Stir in spaghetti and pour into a lightly greased 2-quart casserole dish.
- Bake for 30 minutes or until heated through.
Notes:
- I suggest using Unsalted Cream of Chicken Soup in this dish to control the sodium.

Can I put it together and refrigerate overnight to cook next day?
Yes – you will just need to add a few minutes to the cooking time.
I don’t have Velveeta can other cheese be used? I have shredded sharp Cheddar and if so how much
Any changes and substitutions to the recipe would be up to you.
I need to make this a freezer meal for my daughter’s school. Would i still bake in oven first before freezing it, or can I skip that step for the person who buys it.
Do not cook before freezing. Put instructions on casserole to defrost then cook.
On man!!!!!, this was so good, instead of the powdered spices I used 3 cloves of garlic and about a half a white onion, and then when i plated threw on some shredded parmasen and boom deliciousness 😋, I thought about throwing some Cholula in too but I’m glad I didn’t, has the perfect kick!, ill recommend this to anyone
Ok, I love the vibe of this recipe, but wow, is it spicy! I don’t eat hot foods so it was a shock to my mouth and lips, haha. I think next time I’ll use a can of diced tomatoes in place of rotel.
