In a small (very small!) town in Texas, this spaghetti chicken recipe was the special of the day at a local country restaurant. It reminded me or chicken spaghetti casserole, so I had to order it. The tasty spaghetti was delicious and full of comforting flavors. Creamy, warming, filling and full of Texas flavor, I was surprised at how easy it was to make.
