Ingredients for Chicken Spaghetti
- Butter: I use real butter, not margarine.
- Chicken Breast: Cut Into 1 Inch bite-size pieces (about 1.5lbs) Can substitute with chicken thighs or rotisserie chicken.
- Ranch Seasoning Packet: Or homemade ranch seasonings.
- Heavy Cream: You can use whole milk or half and half.
- Rotel: For a spicier meal use Rotel with chilis, but you can also use diced tomatoes.
- Cream Cheese: Cubed
- Velveeta Cheese: Cubed
- Spaghetti: Cooked According To Directions On Box
- Cheddar Cheese: Shredded

I made this and it’s delicious. Very addictive.
This is yet another of your recipes that I would like to print, but cannot justify 15 pages of mostly just large photos. Is there any way to print them without the photos? I have been enjoying your recipes for a long time and have found this relatively recent development to make them unusable.
