Creamy Chicken Spaghetti

This is one of those dishes that your mom’s friend probably used to make! It was always good but also weird, or at least that’s what I always thought! I love the idea that you just throw it all together and throw it in the oven. Its super easy everyone can do it and it makes a ton!! I took out the cream of mushroom soup and it turned out DELISH! If you like mushrooms, just saute those with the veggies and you’ll get that mushroom flavor! Give this a try! We could not stop eating it!!
