Scale
Sauce Ingredients
- 1 (10 ounce) can cream of chicken soup
- 1 (10 ounce) can cream of mushroom soup
- 2 cups sour cream
- 1/2 cup butter, melted
- 1/2 cup low-sodium chicken broth
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 teaspoon pepper
- 1/4 teaspoon garlic powder
Main Ingredients
- 1/2 cup frozen peas
- 1 pound seasoned cooked chicken, chopped or shredded
- 1 pound thin spaghetti, cooked al dente
Cheeses
- 1 1/2 cups shredded mozzarella cheese
- 1/2 cup shredded cheddar cheese
- 2 tablespoons grated Parmesan cheese
Garnish
- Fresh chopped parsley, for garnish
Instructions
- Preheat and prep: Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C) and coat a 9×13 inch baking dish with nonstick cooking spray to prevent sticking.
- Make the sauce: In a large bowl, whisk together the cream of chicken soup, cream of mushroom soup, sour cream, melted butter, low-sodium chicken broth, salt, pepper, and garlic powder until the mixture is smooth and well combined.
- Combine ingredients: Stir in the frozen peas, seasoned cooked chicken, and cooked spaghetti. Toss everything together until the pasta and chicken are fully coated with the creamy sauce.
- Assemble and bake: Pour the pasta mixture into the prepared baking dish and evenly sprinkle with mozzarella, cheddar, and Parmesan cheeses. Cover the dish tightly with foil and bake for 30 minutes. Then remove the foil and bake for an additional 15 minutes or until the cheese is melted, bubbly, and slightly golden.
- Serve: Remove the dish from the oven and sprinkle with fresh chopped parsley for a pop of color and flavor. Let the casserole stand for 5 to 10 minutes before serving to let it set and cool slightly.
Notes
- Use thin spaghetti for the best texture and easier coating with sauce.
- To make this dish ahead, assemble it in the baking dish, cover tightly, and refrigerate for up to 24 hours before baking.
- Feel free to substitute cooked turkey or leftover rotisserie chicken.
- For extra creaminess, add a splash more sour cream or chicken broth if needed.
- Make sure not to overcook the spaghetti so it doesn’t become mushy after baking.
