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!

5stats from our family!!!! Love it so much will be making alot if this everyone loves it even our picky eaters?
I made the chicken spaghetti for my family and we all loved it. I doubled the recipe and made it for our child advocacy center and they loved it too. In fact everyone wanted the recipe.
I made this last night!! I added chopped jalapeños and green chiles. Next time, I will use a can of rotel instead and add sliced mushrooms, Colby jack, topped with chopped green onion, chopped tomatoes, and chopped cilantro. YUMMY GET IN MY TUMMY!!!!
Does this have to be layered or can it all be mixed together ?
Can you use spaghetti squash in this recipe
I haven’t done it personally, but, I don’t see why not 🙂
I have made this dish twice for 2 different potlucks. It was a hit at both. I sprinkled Tony’s Creole Seasoning on top for a little kick.
Thanks for the recipe !
I can’t wait to try this. Another suggestion to save time, is to use canned chicken breasts, chunked. I used this in other recipes and it works out great! Just drain and dump the chicken in your favorite recipe. 1 can = 1 cup!
HI i messed up a little and forgot to put the egg mixture with noodles so I just put it on top. I hope it’s turns out okay.
I’m going to try this tonight. Is the parmesan cheese the powder kind or is supposed to be the shredded kind?
Hi! I actually usually use the pre-grated parmesan for this recipe but shredded works fine as well 🙂
This was delicious!! My family loved it!! I served it with a salad and breadsticks!! Great meal ❤
Thank you! Love hearing that you enjoyed it 🙂
