Homemade Chicken Spaghetti

Spicy Chicken Spaghetti makes a delicious weeknight family meal and leftovers reheat nicely. Cheesy noodles, lots of shredded chicken (I use a rotisserie chicken for convenience), and spicy tomatoes. It’s such a winning combination you’ll want it on the menu every week.

There’s plenty of cheese mixed in plus more cheese on top. 🙂

Spicy Chicken Spaghetti is always a family favorite. This one gets its spice from Red Gold's Sriracha Tomaotes.

Spicy Chicken Spaghetti is so cheesy and good with lots of spice.

If that’s not cheesy, spicy comfort food in a bowl, I don’t know what is!

How To Serve

This is a super hearty and filling recipe and it goes best with something light like a garden salad with Creamy Italian Dressing, Southern-Style Green Beans, or Lemon Butter Broccoli. Some yeast rolls or buttermilk cornbread muffins make a great addition.
