This Chicken Spaghetti recipe is a home run in my house! It’s turning into one of my go-to quick easy casserole recipes. And I love that I can collect Campbell’s Labels for Education for my school, too!
This recipe is my little guy’s most favorite food in the whole, wide world! (His words. Not mine.)
Our usual dinner time conversation goes a little like this…
ME: “How about you eat?”
HIM: (apparently not hearing me)
ME: “Hey! Eat!”
HIM: (still can’t hear me – even though I’m about 2 feet from his ears)
ME: “Let’s go. Eat!”
HIM: “I just took a drink.”
This banter goes on for the duration of dinner. It’s exasperating.
However, if I make Chicken Spaghetti, he turns into an eating machine.
The last time I made it, he had thirds! Thirds!
I actually had to tell him to stop(!) eating. I didn’t want him to eat too much too fast.
Southern food chicken spaghetti recipes are definitely one of my family’s favorite easy chicken casserole recipes. I love how easy it is to pull together. Most of the time, I assemble the casserole ahead of time and bake if off when we’re ready to eat.
The recipe is so flexible that I can use any kind of cooked chicken, such as a rotisserie chicken or left over chicken from a previous meal.
The rest of the ingredients are just as simple, a few cans of cream soup and a can of Ro-Tel tomatoes with chilies.
My little guy loves this dish so much, he would even eat it for breakfast (if I’d let him!).
This is definitely one of our favorite Campbell Soup casserole recipes!

This casserole sounds super yummy.
Candi says
I really like this, My kids don’t like tomato sauce, so I know they will like this. I am going to make it next week. I am putting it on my menu plan.
Mitzi says
We use a lot of Campbell’s soups for our casseroles and other meals, too. They add a lot of flavor and help to hearty up the plate.
Sara Merritt says
Looks good! Do you use the mild, regular, or hot can of Rotel? #client
Christina says
We use mild so it’s not too spicy for my little guy.
Heather says
I bet my kids would both love this meal – thanks!
Heidi says

This sounds great. I have never had chicken in spaghetti.

Thanks, Jill! It’s my son’s favorite meal! If it were up to him, we’d have it at least 3x per week! 🙂

True story: The day that Chris (Foods Thoughts of a Chef Wannabe) posted that recipe, my husband was standing over my shoulder, begging me to make it. I promised that I would, but then life got away from me.
So TODAY… he just happened to come home for lunch (he works 3 miles from home) and what does he see? YOUR recipe!
Oh my gosh… I guess it need to make it now!
Christina says
That is sooo funny! Let me know if he likes it! My son can’t get enough. He would eat it every day if I let him!
