Southwestern Cheesy Chicken Spaghetti

Select a mild or hot salsa to give this yummy family-friendly casserole as much heat as you can take.

Ingredients:

• 1 pound whole wheat spaghetti
• 3 whole boneless, skinless chicken breasts, finely chopped
• 2 tablespoons olive oil
• Salt (to taste)
• Pepper (to taste)
• 1 26-oz. jar black bean & white corn salsa
• 1 16-oz. package finely shredded Mexican-style cheese

Directions:

Cook spaghetti according to package directions. Meanwhile, in a nonstick skillet, combine chicken, olive oil, salt, and pepper. Cook and stir over medium heat about 10 minutes or until chicken is no longer pink. Drain spaghetti; stir in chicken and salsa. Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Pour spaghetti mixture into a baking pan; sprinkle with cheese. Bake about 25 minutes or until heated through.

Number of Servings: 8-10

Notes from the Cook: I usually lightly spray my baking pan with "Pam" or some type of non-stick cooking spray. It usually takes me 45 mins.-1 hr. from prep to finished product.
