Description

You know the feeling you get on cold nights when all you want is comfort food (and chocolate) to make you feel good again? This is the ultimate “comfort food”. Pasta, garlic, cream cheese, mushrooms, chicken. Makes me feel loved, happy, complete. Even if I have to make it myself! OK, let’s get started!

Ingredients

  • 1 pound Boneless, Skinless Chicken Breasts (or Leftover Turkey From Thanksgiving!)
  • 1-½ Tablespoon Jane's Krazy Salt Seasoning
  • ½ pounds Vermicelli Or Thin Spaghetti Pasta, Cooked Until Just Al Dente
  • ¼ cups Butter (of Course!)
  • 1 whole Large Onion, Diced
  • 1 cup Celery, Diced
  • 4 cloves Fresh Garlic, Minced
  • 1 can (10 Oz. Size) Cream Of Mushroom Soup, Do Not Dilute
  • 1 block Cream Cheese (8 Oz.) Cubed
  • ¼ cups Parmesan Cheese, Grated
  • ½ cups Italian Bread Crumbs

Preparation

Rinse and trim chicken breasts and pat dry. Season generously with Jane’s Krazy Salt (if you don’t have any or can’t find it, use your favorite seasonsings. But get some Jane’s. It’ll change your life! Really!) Bake chicken for an hour at 350 degrees (F).

When chicken has finished baking, boil some salted water for pasta and cook pasta until just al dente (about 8 – 9 minutes). Drain when done.

While pasta is cooking, saute onion, celery and garlic in butter until just soft. Place diced chicken in a large mixing bowl and add onion mixture when you’ve finished sauteing it. Warm the soup and cream cheese over medium low heat and stir until it is fairly smooth, then add to mixture in mixing bowl and give it a good stir.

Add warm pasta to mixing bowl mixture and stir well. If mixture seems a little dry, you can add some chicken stock until it is a little easier to stir. (The baked chicken will have a little broth left in the pan and that will work.)

Pour the mixture into a lightly sprayed 9×9 baking dish, sprinkle with parmesan cheese and bread crumbs and bake 45 minutes to an hour until bubbly.

Serve with a tomato/cucumber salad and crispy garlic bread.

And feel the love!

This was excellent. Even my two-year-old ate some.

Made this tonight for dinner with leftover chicken I had – delish! I haven’t been a fan of other Chicken Spaghetti recipes with the peppers etc that they usually call for, but when I read the ingredients here, I thought I would have to try.

I added fresh mushrooms in since I had to use them up and I used Old Bay seasoning since I don’t have Janes Krazy Salt by me. It was delish! Thanks for sharing the recipe!

My family loved this Chicken Spaghetti dish for dinner! It was a hit with all ages from 6-15, including my husband and myself! It served my family of 6 and we had leftovers. Thanks for a great dish. This would make a very nice casserole to take to new mothers as you could easily put it together ahead of time.

This made for a wonderful dinner. I cooked the chicken & pasta in the morning, put it all together, then put it in the refrigerator, baking it just before serving. I thought it might need extra spice (we usually like things a little spicy) so had the red pepper flakes on the table, but it didn’t need any. I would revise the servings to 6-8, as hubby and I only ate about one-fourth of the dish.
