Instructions

Cook the Spaghetti:
Cook the spaghetti according to package instructions, then drain and set aside.
Prepare the Chicken:
If you’re not using pre-cooked chicken, cook your chicken until fully cooked (about 15-20 minutes) and shred it. Set aside.
Sauté Veggies:
In a large skillet, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the chopped onion, bell pepper, and garlic, cooking until softened, about 5 minutes.
Make the Sauce:
Add the cream of chicken soup, cream of mushroom soup, milk, sour cream, salt, pepper, paprika, and red pepper flakes to the skillet. Stir everything together and cook until the sauce is heated through.
Combine Chicken and Spaghetti:
Stir in the shredded chicken and cooked spaghetti. Mix until everything is well coated in the creamy sauce.
Add Cheese:
Stir in the shredded cheddar cheese until melted and everything is creamy and combined.
Bake (Optional):
Transfer the chicken spaghetti to a greased baking dish. Sprinkle with Parmesan cheese and bake at 350°F (175°C) for about 20 minutes, or until bubbly and golden on top. You can skip this step if you prefer a quicker version.
Serve:
Serve warm with extra grated Parmesan on top, if desired.

Notes

You can add vegetables like mushrooms or spinach to the dish for extra flavor and nutrients.
If you prefer a spicier dish, add more red pepper flakes or a dash of hot sauce.

For a creamier texture, you can increase the amount of sour cream or add a little cream cheese.
