Recipe:  Creamy Chicken Spaghetti
Source:  Scott's sister, Catie (adapted)

Servings:  8
Serving size:  1/8 of the casserole

Ingredients:
1 box Ronzoni Smart Taste spaghetti
2 (10 3/4 oz) cans Healthy Request Cream of Mushroom Soup
2 oz milk
2 cups Weight Watchers shredded mozzarella cheese, divided
1 (12 1/2 oz) can chicken breast
1 spray cooking spray

Preparation:
  1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees.
  2. Cook spaghetti noodles according to package directions.  In a large mixing bowl, combine cream of mushroom soup, milk, one cup of cheese, and chicken breast. Stir together until evenly mixed.  After draining spaghetti, add to the soup mixture and mix well. 
  3. Transfer the spaghetti to a pre-sprayed casserole dish (we use a 9x13 dish).  Spread evenly.  Top with remaining cup of cheese.  Bake for 10-15 minutes, or until cheese on top is completely melted.
Our Thoughts:
Scott and I LOVE this dish.  Seriously.  It's definitely a comfort dinner.  The soup, cheese, chicken and spaghetti mesh perfectly together.  We thank Catie all the time for passing this recipe on to us.  We make this meal probably three times a month, and it's great both the night you make it and as leftovers.  We really can't get enough. 

Rating:  5 out of 5 stars!  We really do love it that much!
