Million Dollar Chicken Spaghetti – The best ever chicken spaghetti that is easy to make! This mouthwatering chicken spaghetti casserole is rich and hearty, full of cream cheese, bacon, sour cream, parmesan, mozzarella, tender chicken, and spaghetti noodles baked to perfection!
So, by now I’ll go ahead and assume that we have all heard of the Million Dollar Spaghetti that has become incredibly popular on Pinterest, right?
Well, I love the stuff, and I also adore baked spaghetti so it was time to make a marriage of the two!
I did quite a bit of experimenting with chicken spaghetti to make sure this was truly the ultimate hearty casserole that I was looking for. It’s super indulgent, and makes a boatload of food so you have enough for two dinners or enough to feed a big crowd.
Like all of the other recipes on my site, there was also the requirement that this casserole had to be easy. I am a firm believer that casseroles should not be complicated.
This chicken spaghetti is made with simple, everyday ingredients. I typically have everything to make this already stocked in my pantry and fridge!
This is nothing but pure, stick to your ribs comfort food. The kind of cheesy goodness that can keep me coming back for seconds all throughout our cold weather seasons.
Let’s talk about how easy this is to put together and some tips for success, shall we?
- I boil my noodles and cook my bacon at the same time to multitask and get this in the oven faster. If you don’t have time to do both, you can always use bacon bits or pre-cooked bacon for this recipe.
- I generally always utilize a rotisserie chicken to keep this recipe even more simple. If I have some of my All Purpose Crockpot Shredded Chicken laying around, I’ll use that instead.
- Bacon and spaghetti take a few minutes to cook. While that’s going on I grab a big bowl and mix up the cream cheese, cream of chicken, sour cream, shredded chicken, and parmesan. Then, a small bowl to melt my butter and whisk in the eggs and parmesan.
- By the time your noodles and bacon are done, you’re ready to start layering!
Enjoy!

One of my favorite comfort foods. I like to serve with a salad and fresh bread.
ABSOLUTELY DELICIOUS!!!
I cook at summer camp and this is a hands-down favorite! I make this every summer, and EVERYONE loves it.
This recipe is amazing! So rich in flavor! I did use raw chicken breast and 2 packets of bacon pieces, cooked together in a skillet, instead of the chicken suggested. I have already written the recipe down to add to my recipe box!
Love the million-dollar spaghetti! This was my second time and it did not disappoint even though I had to use canned chicken because I forgot to buy chicken at the store. Definitely a ‘make again.’ Thank you for sharing!
I made a few adjustments by sautéing a medium chopped onion and 8 cloves of garlic in the bacon grease for 1 minute and added all to the soup mixture and I used a rotesseri chicken deboned and then added 1 can Rotel to the soup mixture along with 1 teaspoon of crushed red pepper flakes. I also made it the night before serving it to let the flavors combine. My family loved it ! Will be making this again.
Very rich but the grandkids loved it. It took me a lot longer to prep than 20 minutes. I will make this again
Can I prepare one day and bake the next morning?
I have a question before making. The 16 oz of spaghetti this recipe calls for, is that a 16oz box of dry or 16oz of cooked?? Dont want more noodles then what I need.
The first time I cooked this recipe, I used the whole 16oz box of spaghetti. To me, it was too much. I open the 16oz box and use ALMOST all of it. I think it’s personal preference. It just fits in the pan better when you leave out an ounce or 2 before cooking. I also buy the large can of cream of chicken soup and use the whole can. It’s a couple extra ounces of soup and makes the dish a little creamier.
Delicious! Thank you
