Chicken Spaghetti Ingredients

These are the ingredients you’ll need to make this easy chicken spaghetti recipe at home: 

  • Pasta: This quick recipe starts with a package of angel hair pasta. You can use regular spaghetti noodles if you prefer. 
  • Chicken: Use two cups of cooked chicken breasts. If you’re really in a rush, use leftovers or rotisserie chicken. 
  • Canned soup: A can of condensed cream of chicken soup gives the sauce a rich and creamy texture. 
  • Canned tomatoes: You’ll need a can of diced tomatoes with green chile peppers for the flavorful spaghetti sauce. 
  • Cheese: Cubed packaged processed cheese is a convenient ingredient that ups the creaminess factor. 
  • Mushrooms: Chopped jarred mushrooms lend flavor and texture. If you like, you can also add other veggies (like onions or bell peppers).
  • Seasonings: Season the chicken spaghetti with salt and pepper to taste. If you prefer a spicy spaghetti, add some crushed red pepper.
