Instructions

Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C).
Cook the spaghetti according to package instructions, drain, and set aside.
Heat olive oil in a skillet over medium heat. Add the chopped onion and bell pepper, sautéing for 4-5 minutes until they soften.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the cooked chicken, cooked spaghetti, sautéed onions and bell peppers, cream of chicken soup, sour cream, chicken broth, garlic powder, salt, pepper, cheddar cheese, and Parmesan cheese. Stir well to combine.
Transfer the mixture to a greased 9×13-inch baking dish, spreading it evenly.
If using breadcrumbs, sprinkle them evenly over the top of the casserole.
Bake for 25-30 minutes, or until the casserole is bubbly and the top is lightly browned.
Let the casserole cool for a few minutes before serving.

Notes

You can add vegetables like mushrooms or spinach for extra flavor and nutrition.

Feel free to swap the pasta for different shapes like penne or rotini.

Add jalapeños or crushed red pepper flakes for a spicy kick.

For a gluten-free version, use gluten-free pasta and ensure the soup and breadcrumbs are gluten-free.

This casserole can be made ahead and stored in the fridge or frozen for later use.
