Ree Drummond, if you're out there, please know that I try to always do as you say. I trust you with my whole kitchen, but I have to admit something to you. While I know your chicken spaghetti is well-loved by so many, the recipe I like to use is just a tad different than yours. I hope we can still be friends. I hope you will still invite me to the lodge for lunch sometime. I keep checking my voicemail, and I still haven't heard from you. I'm starting to wonder if maybe you have the wrong number, so just shoot me a Facebook message, and we'll try to clear things up. Friends, in the meantime, let me know what you think of my chicken spaghetti recipe.
Ingredients:
1 Package of Spaghetti Noodles
2 Cups of Cubed Cooked Chicken
(I usually use three large chicken breasts or six tenderloins.)
2 Cups (8 oz.) of Shredded Cheese
1 Can (10 3/4 oz.) of Condensed Cream of Chicken Soup (Sometimes I use two cans.)
1 Cup of Milk
1 Tablespoon of Diced Pimentoes or a Couple of Spoonfuls of Diced Tomatoes (Optional)
1/4 Teaspoon of Salt (I never add this.)
1/4 Teaspoon of Pepper (Sometimes I forget this, and it's still good.)
Cook spaghetti according to package directions. Meanwhile - in a bowl - combine the chicken, one cup of the shredded cheese, soup, milk, pimentos (if you so desire), salt, and pepper.
Drain spaghetti; add to the chicken mixture and toss to coat.
If you want a little added creaminess, add a few heaping tablespoons of sour cream.
Transfer to a greased 13-by-9 inch baking dish. Sprinkle with the remaining cheese (plus maybe a little extra if you love cheese as much as we do!). Bake at 350 degrees for approximately 30 minutes. (I bake mine covered until the end - Then I kinda broil the top! Mmmm!)
If you're dying for a little more color or you'd simply like another added flavor, try sprinkling some fresh green onions on top of your serving! Delicious~

This sounds so good!!! If my boy had to chose one meal for the rest of his life I think it would be spaghetti. He is always trying new ways to "re-invent" it. I will definitely have to make this for him! :)
