Super-Satisfying Chicken Spaghetti

Chicken Spaghetti is a go-to dish at our house. Our long-time friend, neighbor and fellow BoomerShelley Tyler turned me on to this yummy casserole. She got the recipe while on a ski vacation with her family, and has been perfecting it for almost two decades (though you'd never guess it to look at her!).

I discovered Shelley's secret about two years ago while battling Stage 2 breast cancer.She was with me every step of the seemingly impossible journey, praying for a positive outcome, taking me to chemotherapy and cooking what has become one of Bob's and my favorite meals. Who would have thought a good thing could come out of such a bad time?

Since then, I serve this grilled chicken, angel hair pasta and creamy sauce medley at least once a month using Shelley's super recipe. Talk about pure comfort food! It's warm, filling andoffers a nice kick thanks to her inspired idea of adding Rotel tomatoes. Plus, even better, it's ever SOOOO quick and easy.

You need only seven ingredients which you probably already have on hand: angel hair pasta, chicken (grilled or canned), cream of chicken and cream of mushroom soup, Rotel diced tomatoes and green chiles, sour cream, and cheese. Bob makes a mean grilled chicken (here's his recipe)so that's usually my choice but canned works just as well. Boil the pasta, mix it with everything except the cheese, bake and you can have a guest-worthy dinner on the table in under an hour. What could be more satisfying?

• 8 ounces angel hair pasta

• 2 cups chopped, grilled chicken or 1 large can of chicken

• 1 can (10 3/4 ounces) cream of mushroom soup (98% fat free or regular)

• 1 can (10 3/4 ounces) cream of chicken soup (98% fat free or regular)

• 1 can (10 ounces) Rotel diced tomatoes and green chiles, undrained

• 1 cup (8 ounces) sour cream

• Sprinkling of Parmesan or Mexican-blend cheese
