Ingredients

Pasta

  • 8 ounces thin spaghetti or angel hair pasta

Chicken Mixture

  • 1 cup sour cream
  • 1 cup salsa
  • 1 tablespoon taco seasoning
  • 2 cups Mexican blend cheese, divided

Toppings

Instructions

  1. Cook Pasta: Cook the spaghetti or angel hair pasta according to the package directions until al dente. Drain and set aside.
  2. Prepare Baking Dish: Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C). Spray a 9×13-inch baking dish with non-stick cooking spray and set it aside.
  3. Combine Ingredients: In a large bowl, combine the cooked pasta, canned chicken breast, 1 cup of the Mexican cheese blend, cream of chicken soup, sour cream, salsa, and taco seasoning. Mix well until all ingredients are evenly incorporated.
  4. Assemble Casserole: Pour the pasta and chicken mixture into the prepared baking dish. Evenly sprinkle the remaining 1 cup of Mexican cheese blend over the top.
  5. Bake: Cover the casserole with aluminum foil and bake in the preheated oven for 25 to 30 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and bubbly.
  6. Serve: Remove from the oven and allow the casserole to cool slightly. Garnish with fresh chopped cilantro if desired before serving.

Notes

  • Use thin spaghetti or angel hair pasta for best texture in the casserole.
  • Ensure canned chicken is well-drained to avoid excess moisture.
  • If you prefer a spicier flavor, add extra salsa or taco seasoning.
  • You can substitute cream of chicken soup for a homemade white sauce to reduce sodium.
  • This casserole can be prepared ahead of time and refrigerated before baking.
  • Leftovers store well in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
