My Aunt Barbara, a Mississippi Italian, had a wonderful recipe...a Sunday lunch favorite.

I can't eat any chicken spaghetti but my mom's. The ingredients sound awful, but it's actually really good. The sauce is cream of celery and chicken soups & tomato soup with sauted onions, bell pepper, & celery. She adds sliced green olives, a little olive juice, and diced tomatoes. Her "secret" ingredient is a tsp. of chili powder. She mixes it with cooked spaghetti in an oven proof pot, covers it with American cheese, and puts it in the oven just long enough to melt the cheese.
I don't know the exact measurements of the ingredients. I think it just depends how much you're making & how many you're cooking for. I know she gets a lot of requests for it at potlucks.
Eta: Of course, there is cubed chicken in the sauce, and I believe she might add some chickens broth when needed.

My mom and grandmother (south Louisiana Cajuns) used to make one with a fryer. Basically you would cook the fryer as if you were making a sauce piquant-brown all the veggies, fryer, and brown some tomato sauce and make a long gravy, mix in noodles and presto "Cajun chicken spegg". That Mississippi stuff just looks like slop and cheesy noodles but after a hard nite drinkin', I'd eat it!

This seems like it could be the recipe, but way too much cheese. May try this out and see how it does. Thanks.

I'm from the delta. Chicken spaghetti is definately a MS thing. It's everywhere and a lot of people love it, but I've never been too fond...
