Easy Spicy Southern Chicken Spaghetti

Easy Spicy Southern Chicken Spaghetti 1 lb pasta – cooked 1 lb chicken tenders 2 TBS butter 12-16 oz Velveeta (plus extra if you want to add more when you reheat it – or if you like a wetter dish use the full 16oz. Go less for a mac-n-cheese texture – more for an Alfredo kinda thing.) 1 cup milk 1 10 oz can Rotel (tomatoes & chilies) 1 10 oz can cream of chicken soup (or cream of mushroom or cream of celery) 1/2 tsp cumin 2 TBS sriracha or other hot sauce 1 cup Panko or other bread crumbs 1 cup grated cheese (I used a cheddar & mozzarella mix) Salt & Pepper to taste Parsley and/or crushed red pepper as garnish Cook & drain the pasta. Spray a grill or frying pan with cooking spray & cook the chicken tenders & then cut them up. Melt the butter in a deep stock pot sprayed with cooking spray, too. The cooking spray seemed to make the inevitable browned/burned bits of cheese easier to clean off later. Add the Velveeta, Rotel, soup, milk, hot sauce & cumin & melt it all together over med-high heat. Add the chicken. Toss it with the pasta. I added about 1 TBS of black pepper here. You add S&P to taste. Spray a casserole dish with cooking spray & put the chicken spaghetti in it. Top with grated cheese & bread crumbs. Cook at 350 for about 30 minutes or until the cheese is bubbling & the bread crumbs brown a bit. Garnish with parsley or crushed red pepper or more hot sauce. For leftover's if there are any..... Melt some more Velveeta in a pan with a bit of milk. Reheat the leftover chicken spaghetti & toss it with the additional melted cheese.
