Ingredients
Scale
- 8 oz spaghetti (uncooked)
- 2 cups shredded rotisserie chicken
- 1 can (10.5 oz) cream of mushroom soup
- 1 can (14.5 oz) diced tomatoes (with juice)
- 1 cup bell peppers (diced, any color)
- 1 small onion (diced)
- 2 cloves garlic (minced)
- 1 cup cheddar cheese (shredded)
- 1 teaspoon Italian seasoning
- Salt and pepper to taste
- 1 tablespoon olive oil (for sautéing)
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
- In a large pot of boiling salted water, cook the spaghetti according to package instructions until al dente. Drain and set aside.
- In a large skillet, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the diced onion, bell peppers, and minced garlic. Sauté for about 5 minutes, or until the vegetables are softened.
