Frugal Foodie Friday - Slow Cooker Southwestern Chicken Spaghetti
From the kitchen of One Perfect Bite...While this inexpensive casserole was not developed for peckish eaters, if you are feeding a gang or have teenagers at your table, you might want to give this simple recipe a try. You will need a blender and slow cooker to prepare this nearly effortless casserole. The recipe comes from Good Housekeeping magazine, and while it calls for chicken breasts, I actually prefer to use boneless thighs to make this dish. The chipotle chiles give the casserole some heat, but much of it is absorbed by the spaghetti as it cooks, so all but the very young will enjoy it. It is important not to over cook the thin spaghetti. Buy the product actually labeled thin spaghetti to assure proper cooking of the pasta. Avoid capellini at all costs if you decide to make this casserole. It will turn to mush and you will not speak or think kindly of me. If you are looking for an effortless and inexpensive family meal, this Frugal Foodie Friday recipe has you name on it. Here is how the casserole is made.
