ROTEL CHICKEN 
4 lg. chicken breasts
1 lg. onion, chopped
1 stick butter (1/4 lb)
1 big block Velveeta cheese (2 oz)
1 small box spaghetti (8oz or half of 16oz box)
1 can diced Rotel tomatoes with green chilies

In a large pot, simmer chicken on low heat in water (just enough water to cover). Remove from pan when chicken is tender (about 90 minutes). Cook spaghetti in the same water the chicken was stewed in.

Melt butter in a large saucepan. Sauté onion in butter. Add Rotel tomatoes and cut up cheese in small blocks (use more or less cheese, to taste).

Add to mixture, constantly stirring. Drain spaghetti but reserve liquid. Add spaghetti to cheese mixture. Add extra chicken broth, if needed, for a moister casserole. If you like it hot, toss in a few poblano or jalapeno slices. I also add a few cloves of minced garlic sometimes for extra flavor.

4 servings.

Rotel Chicken

Awesome recipe! HUGE favorite with the family. Great Sunday family dinner dish! If you do not like the "hotness" of rotel grab the "mild" kind. This is not as spicy! ENJOY!

DELICIOUS meal! I skipped the onions, and it just tasted great I added one can cream of chicken and cooked the chicken in broth, in a separate pan combined the cheese, cream, butter, chicken, and a bit of chicken broth! Great is all I can say.

This is excellent. We doubled recipe. Enough for home, work and friends. Next time will try with new Velveeta Queso Blanco.

Great! My teenage son loved it! Used chicken tenders (quicker cook time.) I sauteed celery with the onion.Cooked it with the tenders. removed the chicken and cooked the pasta in the broth increased the spaghetti to 16 ounces. Added can of regular Rotel. Cubed 1 lb of Velveeta and put it into the broth. It was a one pot dish since I used a large pot.
