Notes
Leftover chicken from a previous meal can be used in this recipe, saving time and money.
Adjust the spice level by using hot or mild Rotel tomatoes.
Any type of pasta can be used, but spaghetti works best in this dish.
The residual heat will melt the cheese, so it's important to remove the pot from the burner once the cheese is added to avoid scorching.
