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!

Making this tonight and it looks delightful! But I have to ask! Is it really 5,000 cal/serving?
Hi! No, this is 500 calories per serving, and a serving is large at about 1 1/2 – 2 Cups.
Oh thank goodness! We loved it, but worried about calories. Saw the recipe had 500 kcal- the “k” threw us off. Thanks for the recipe! We enjoyed it
