Chicken Spaghetti


OK, like I said I have been freezing meals. Well, today we had the chicken spaghetti. It was the B-O-M-B. Here are the before and after, and the recipe from The Freezer Chicks blog. You can find a link on the side bar of our blog.
Frozen in a bag.

After

Thawed and added to cooked pasta. In the oven for 30 minutes and you have deliciousness (and one more in the freezer!... the recipe made me about 2 x 2.2 quart casseroles. And you just cook 8 oz. of pasta for each dish.)

Here is the recipe. If you don't want to freeze it just cute the recipe in half. Also, I only used a half of a bell pepper and half of an onion ( which made 1/4 of each in each dish). I also did not crock pot the chicken breasts. I just boiled them for about 10 minutes and then shredded them and put the broth from that in the freezer!

Cheesy Chicken Spaghetti

Chicken Spaghetti
From Diana Rattray, Your Guide to Southern Food. (altered for the freezer)

INGREDIENTS:
4 to 6 chicken breasts, cooked, reserve broth
1 bell pepper. green or combination, chopped
1 onion, chopped
1 can cream of chicken soup
1 can cream of mushroom soup
1 can Ro-Tel tomatoes, (with green chiles), I drained the rotel
1 can stewed tomatoes
1 package shredded cheddar cheese, (16 ounces)
1 package spaghetti, (16 ounces) --save for serving day


PREPARATION for freezer:
Place chicken in a crockpot with chicken broth and cook on low for about 6 hours. When chicken is cooked, shred or chop.
In a plastic freezer bag add chicken, onion & green peppers, soups, Ro-Tel, and stewed tomatoes and cheese. I then stirred it with a spoon (in the bag), sealed the bag, and squished it a little more to mix it up.

On serving day: Thaw the sauce. Boil the spaghetti, drain. Mix sauce and spaghetti together and bake at 350 degrees for 20 to 30 minutes or until the sauce thickens and is bubbly.
