Can I use other cheeses instead of Velveeta?

Yes! Cream cheese gives a tangy richness, and shredded cheddar works for a more classic cheesy flavor. You can even mix both for a deeper taste.

How can I prevent soggy pasta?

Add the spaghetti later in the cooking process. Let it cook only until just tender before serving. This keeps it firm and perfectly coated in sauce.

Definitely. Add cooked or leftover chicken near the end of the cooking time so it warms through without drying out.

Velveeta cheese ensures a creamy consistency, but cream cheese can be used as a substitute.

You can add vegetables like bell peppers or mushrooms for extra flavor.

Adjust broth depending on how creamy or thick you prefer the dish.

Make it spicy by using Hot Rotel or adding crushed red pepper flakes.
