Ingredients

Directions

  1. Preheat oven to 350ðF (175ðC).
  2. Place chicken breasts in a large pot of water and bring to a boil; reduce heat and simmer until cooked through, about 15-20 minutes.
  3. Remove chicken from water, let cool slightly, then debone and shred or cube the meat.
  4. While chicken cooks, boil spaghetti according to package directions until al dente, then drain.
  5. Cut the Velveeta cheese and margarine into small cubes and let them sit at room temperature for 15 minutes to soften.
  6. In a large bowl, combine the cooked spaghetti, chopped onion, celery, mushrooms, and prepared chicken.
  7. In a separate saucepan over low heat, melt the margarine, then stir in the cream of mushroom soup and cubed Velveeta until smooth and melted.
  8. Pour the cheese sauce over the pasta and chicken mixture, stirring gently to coat everything evenly.
  9. Transfer the mixture to a greased baking dish and bake for 20 minutes, or until heated through and lightly browned on top.
