Steps:

• Cook spaghetti as directed on package, omitting salt.
• Meanwhile, cook and stir onions and peppers in Dutch oven or large deep skillet sprayed with cooking spray on medium-high heat 3 to 4 min. or until crisp-tender. Stir in tomatoes, broth and tomato paste. Bring to boil; simmer on low heat 10 min., stirring occasionally. Add VELVEETA; cook 1 min. or until VELEETA is completely melted and sauce is well blended, stirring frequently.
• Drain spaghetti. Add to sauce in skillet along with the chicken; cook 2 to 3 min. or until heated through, stirring occasionally.

VELVEETA® CHICKEN SPAGHETTI CASSEROLE

Steps:

• Combine chicken, condensed soup, chicken broth, bell pepper, celery, parsley, salt, and pepper in a Dutch oven over medium-high heat; bring to a boil. Reduce heat, cover, and simmer for 15 to 20 minutes.
• Meanwhile, bring a large pot of lightly salted water to a boil. Cook spaghetti in the boiling water, stirring occasionally, until tender yet firm to the bite, about 12 minutes. Drain.
• Preheat the oven to 325 degrees F (165 degrees C).
• Add Velveeta® to the Dutch oven and stir until melted. Add drained spaghetti and olives. Transfer to a 9x13-inch baking dish.
• Bake, covered, in the preheated oven for 40 minutes. Uncover and bake until bubbly, about 10 minutes longer.

VELVEETA CHICKEN SPAGHETTI

Steps:

• In a large skillet or cooking pot, saute bell pepper and onion in oleo (or olive oil if you prefer).
• Add 1 can of chicken broth and chicken. Simmer until tender. Cut chicken into bite-size pieces as it's cooking. Use 3 cups of chicken. (I've used packaged chicken tenderloins, as well as pre-cooked chicken from the deli. Whatever is convenient. It's all good.).
• Add all soups and Ro-tel tomatoes. Stir well. Simmer for about 15 minutes until chicken is done.
• Cook the spaghetti in boiling water or chicken broth until just slightly cooked "al dente" - you don't want to over-cook it because it will be cooking more in the oven. Drain, rinse, and set aside until you are ready to mix with chicken/sauce ingredients in baking dish for the oven.
• In a large baking dish or oven-proof pot, place the cooked and cut up chicken, cooked spaghetti, salt and pepper, cheese, and soup mixture.
• Depending on how creamy you like this dish, you may want to add extra chicken broth before you bake. (I always do).
• Stir very well to mix all ingredients evenly. I usually stir once after about 15 minutes in the oven - after the cheese has had time to melt. Bake at 375 degrees for 30 minutes.
• You can add canned or fresh mushrooms if you like.
• Also, for a nice touch - (looks pretty for guests) you can add one can of black olives, sprinkled over the top of the casserole. (optional).(I slice them to make them go further).
• Please note that if you want to cut the fat from your diet, this tastes equally good with fat-free soups and the "lite" velveeta. You can also leave out the olive oil or oleo and spray the pan with pam and add extra fat-free chicken broth.
• A good company dish. Everyone always seems to enjoy this dish and I usually get asked for the recipe. Also, children seem to especially like this dish.
