Chicken Spaghetti

 

 

 

 

The recipe calls for 1 large fryer chicken( I use chicken legs, boneless breasts and thighs so I will have less bones in my broth ( you can buy boneless thighs at some grocery stores.)

 

 

 

 1/4 teaspoon poultry seasoning

 

 cover the chicken with water and add the poultry seasoning

 

 after the chicken is done cooking put it in a bowl and pick off the chicken digarding the bones

 

 

 

 

 

 



 

Put one tablespoon of oil in a skillet and add one cup chopped bell pepper and one chopped onion

 

 

 

 

 

 cook until tender

 

 

 

 

scoop out some chicken broth 

 

 

 

 add the chicken to the onions and bell pepper

 

add one can of cream of mushroom and one can of cream of celery. Use the cream of celery.

 

 

add 2 cups of cheese . I used sharp chedder

 

 

 

 

carefully the package of spaghetti in the boiling chicken broth

 

 

This is where you add the chicken broth you scooped out. Pour some in the chicken, cheese, soups, onion , bell pepper mixture until you get it to the right consistency. You can tell if it is too dry.  Heat it all in the dutch oven for 30-45 minutes stirring a lot.( I use a nonstick coated one). You have to watch this it will burn if you just leave it so keep stirring it tossing and turning it. Your effort will pay off here.  . This is an important part as most chicken spaghetti's are thrown in a dish and baked. If you cook it like this your noodles and chicken will not brown or noodles crispy and it will be perfectly cooked.

 

Stir in the package of noodles. I usually have to chop them up a little while stirring to get it all mixed in.
