Homemade Chicken Spaghetti

Spicy Chicken Spaghetti makes a delicious weeknight family meal and leftovers reheat nicely. Cheesy noodles, lots of shredded chicken (I use a rotisserie chicken for convenience), and spicy tomatoes. It’s such a winning combination you’ll want it on the menu every week.

There’s plenty of cheese mixed in plus more cheese on top.
