Lightened Up Pioneer Woman's Chicken Spaghetti
I saw this comfort food recipe for chicken spaghetti casserole and wanted to lighten it up!
How to Make This:
Ingredients:
16 oz Cooked skinless boneless chicken breast, chopped
10 1⁄2 oz Fit & Active Condensed cream of mushroom soup (98% fat free soup)
1 1⁄2 cups Kroger Reduced fat 4 cheese Mexican blend finely shredded cheese (40% less fat cheese)
8 oz Uncooked whole wheat spaghetti
4 cups Fat free chicken broth. Reserve about 2 cups of broth after cooking chicken and pasta in it.
1 Uncooked small red onion, finely diced
1⁄2 cup Uncooked bell pepper finely diced
1⁄4 tsp Chili powder
1 tsp Lawrys Seasoned Salt, The Original
1⁄4 tsp Black pepper
Instructions:
In a medium pot, add chicken breast and chicken broth.
You can add extra water if needed to cover chicken with about an inch of liquid.
Let come to a boil and then turn down heat, put a lid on it and let it simmer for about 15 minutes or until the chicken reaches an internal temp of 165.
Remove chicken once cooked, chop up into bit sized pieces.
Add pasta in broth, cook pasta about 4 or 5 minutes or until al dente.
Reserve about 2 cups of broth once pasta is cooked.
In a large bowl, add in cooked pasta, chicken, mushroom soup, veggies, about 1 cup of cheese, black pepper, chili powder, Lawry's and reserved chicken broth (I used 1 1/2 cups) stir until well combined.
Spray a 13X9 casserole dish with cooking spray and pour in pasta.
Evenly spread out and bake at 350 for about 30-35 minutes.
Add remaining cheese and let cook another 5-10 minutes until melted.
Enjoy!
