This is a great, comfort dish. My sister gave me the recipe and I tweaked it to fit my family's taste. My friends also request this when we have pot-luck dinners. Garnish with freshly grated Parmesan cheese and serve with a salad and hot garlic bread. You'll be a hit with everyone.

Notes from the Test Kitchen:
My family loves meals that have a kick. This was no exception - the kids loved it. My husband added a little more jalapeno on his, but it had just the right amount of spice for me. (Oh, and it's SO cheesy!)

1 lb: Velveeta cheese, regular or mexican

How to Make Chicken Spaghetti

Step-by-Step

1Boil chicken breasts in a large pot adding 1/2 teaspoon of salt and 1/2 teaspoon of black pepper to water.
2Remove chicken when completely done, about 10 to 12 minutes.
3Boil spaghetti pasta in remaining broth according to package directions.
4Drain pasta after done and discard water. Set aside the pasta...Do not rinse.
5Melt the butter in that same (empty) pot and saute the onion and bell pepper.
6Add tomatoes, soup, cooked chicken (cut into bite-size pieces) and spaghetti to the sauteed onion mixture, one at a time, and gently mix together.
7Add cheese and stir together, mixing well. Add salt and pepper to taste. Heat until cheese is melted thoroughly, stirring occasionally to keep from scorching.
