Italian Chicken Casserole

Recipe #278221 | 45 min | 15 min prep | SERVES 6 -8 (Change Servings)

RECIPE BY: Lainey6605

This is a recipe for a creamy baked chicken spaghetti recipe. I enjoy this recipe because it doesn't contain any "cream of" soups and it's very simple to make. The creamy red sauce is just delicious, I think. This recipe is from Paula Deen.

    Great flavor ~ easy to prepare and is a recipe that I usually have all the ingredients on hand! This is a wonderful recipe for a weeknight. I used canned chicken and made exactly as directed for the perfect supper. I served with some crispy French bread and a tossed salad. I think this could easily be made with shrimp and an addition of mushrooms. Of course, mushrooms go with just about anything, don't they? Thanks for the great supper, Lainey!

    I am rating this recipe on the flavor of the sauce, the ease of preparation, and overall consistency of the casserole. The reason I am doing this is because I changed the major ingredient... chicken. I used 3 cups of shrimp instead of the chicken, and I must say it works VERY well with the shrimp. I added the shrimp after allowing the cream cheese and mozzarella to melt and cooked it just long enough for the shrimp to change color. I followed the recipe to a tee (with the exception of the shrimp) and it was rich and incredibly yummy. My family raved over this and went back for seconds and thirds. I will definitely have to try this with the chicken, too. Thank you for sharing this fabulous recipe...it is definitely a keeper!!

    Wow! Easy to make and extra-delicious. I used a four-cheese blend, light cream cheese, and whipping cream. Fantastic!

    When I saw Sally's picture of this, I thought it looked so yummy. I made the recipe as written other then I used minced dried onions instead of regular onions. This was very good and everyone enjoyed it.
