Step-by-Step Instructions

  • Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a large casserole dish generously.
  • In a large pot, heat a drizzle of oil over medium heat. Add the chicken breasts and cook for 6-7 minutes per side until golden brown and fully cooked. Transfer to a plate to cool slightly.
  • Bring a large pot of salted water to boil. Cook the spaghetti according to package instructions until al dente, about 8-10 minutes. Drain and set aside.
  • In a large mixing bowl, combine shredded chicken, cooked spaghetti, cream of chicken soup, and chopped bell peppers. Add the spices and half of the cheddar cheese, stirring until well mixed.
  • Spoon the mixture into the greased casserole dish, spreading evenly, then top with remaining cheddar cheese.
  • Bake for 25-30 minutes until cheese is bubbling and golden brown. Watch closely towards the end.
  • Remove from the oven and let it rest for about 5 minutes before serving.
  • Garnish with sliced green onions before serving warm.
