Ingredients
  • 3 lbs CHICKEN
  • 2 oz CHOPPED PIMENTO
  • 1/2 teaspoons SALT
  • 1/2 cups DICED ONIONS
  • 1 CHICKEN SEASONING TO TASTE
  • 1/2 cups DICED CELERY
  • 10 3/4 oz CREAM OF CELERY SOUP
  • 1 whole BAY LEAF
  • 16 oz SPAGHETTI, UNCOOKED
Directions
  1. 1
    Place the chicken pieces in a large kettle or pot and cover with water. Add salt, chicken seasoning, and the bay leaf. Bring to a boil, then reduce heat and simmer until the chicken is tender, about 30 to 40 minutes.
  2. 2
    Remove the chicken from the pot and let it cool enough to handle. Cut the meat off the bones, remove the skin, and dice the meat into bite-sized pieces. Set aside.
  3. 3
    To the remaining chicken broth in the pot, add the diced onions, celery, green pepper, and chopped pimentos. Simmer for 5 to 10 minutes until the vegetables are just tender.
  4. 4
    Bring the broth back to a boil. Add the uncooked spaghetti, adding a little extra water if necessary to ensure there is enough liquid to cook the pasta completely.
  5. 5
    Cook the spaghetti until it is tender, about 8 minutes. Drain the mixture, reserving about 3/4 cup of the cooking liquid.
  6. 6
    In a small bowl, combine the reserved cooking liquid with the cream of celery soup and mix well until smooth.
  7. 7
    Stir the soup mixture, the cooked spaghetti with vegetables, and the reserved diced chicken meat together in the pot.
  8. 8
    In a 9x13 inch baking dish, layer half of the spaghetti mixture, followed by half of the grated cheddar cheese. Top with the remaining spaghetti mixture and the rest of the cheese.
