Creamy Baked Million Dollar Chicken Spaghetti

This isn’t your everyday run of the mill pasta dish! We add this to our meal plan rotation at least every other week. It’s made with ingredients we almost always have on hand. I’m so happy my family loves this simple Cheesy Baked Spaghetti Casserole! 

Ingredients:

  • 1 pkg. of Cooked Spaghetti Noodles
  • 8 Tbls. Butter
  • 2 24 oz cans/jars Spaghetti Sauce or Homemade Spaghetti Sauce
  • 3 Cups of Cooked Chicken
  • 1 Cup Cottage Cheese
  • 1/2 Cup Sour Cream
  • 8 oz Cream Cheese ~ you can use Neufchatel
  • 1 tsp Garlic Powder
  • 1 tsp Onion Powder
  • 1 Cup Cheddar Cheese

Step by Step Instructions:

Boil your Spaghetti until it is Al Dente’, That means it is a little firm but cooked.

How do you know when pasta is al dente?

Simply take a noodle out after cooking and eat it. Yep..that’s my scientific test. I don’t throw it against a wall or on the ceiling or anything else goofy. If the noodle is firm but done, I can tell by simply eating it…you will too.
The reason we don’t cook the Spaghetti until its super done is because we are going to put the Million Dollar Chicken Spaghetti Casserole in the oven and it will cook a little more in the spaghetti sauce.

Spaghetti Noodles Al Dente

While noodles are cooking you can do these four easy steps for your creamy chicken spaghetti:

  1. Cream sauce: Mix together Sour Cream, Cream Cheese, Cottage Cheese, Onion Powder and Garlic Powder.
  2. Chop up your Chicken if you have not already done this.
  3. Add 2 Tablespoons to you 9×13 baking dish and put into the oven. Let the butter melt. Then remove.
  4. Set aside until noodles are ready

Million Dollar Chicken Spaghetti Ingredients

Pour HALF of the Spaghetti noodles into the casserole dish.

Top your Spaghetti noodles with the Cheesy Cream Sauce.

Add Chicken

Then top with remaining butter

Now add 4 1/2 cups of your favorite Spaghetti Sauce. You can use canned or Homemade Spaghetti Sauce. I usually use store bought  sauce these days. The Spaghetti Sauces they make these days are just about as good as homemade in my opinion….just about.

Top with the Cheddar Cheese. You can really use any kind of cheese you like. Mozzarella, Mexican Blend…anything! I happened to have Mexican Blend on hand when I made it this day.

Can you Freeze Million Dollar Spaghetti?

I’m adding this in right here because YES you can freeze it and NOW would be the time to freeze if that is what you want to do. You can freeze cooked pasta! Simply cover the casserole dish with foil and freeze. On the day you are ready to cook, remove from the freezer, let thaw and cook 375 degrees 30 minutes.  You can cook with foil on or off.

Bake at 375 degrees for 25-30 min.

Remove from oven and let sit for 5 minutes.

Oh my! This is one of our faves for easy, cheap and quick and you’ll see why when you make it!

Easy Million Dollar Chicken Alfredo Spaghetti

Here’s my top tip for today for a make ahead chicken spaghetti freezer meal ~ MAKE TWO Baked Chicken Casseroles! Double the recipe ingredients then when it comes to adding the sauces use Red Spaghetti Sauce for one casserole and Alfredo Sauce for the other! There are lots of different kinds of Alfredo sauce at the store, use which one you love best!
 
You can follow this recipe exactly step by step simply freeze one! Then in a week or two…serve ~ Million Dollar Chicken Alfredo Spaghetti Casserole and it will be a whole new meal your family will love!

    This was seriously good! I took your suggestion and doubled it, made two, and froze one for later.
