How to Make Au Gratin Chicken Bake

  1. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C).
  2. Cook spaghetti according to package directions. Drain and set aside.
  3. In a large bowl, combine 1.5 lbs cooked chicken (cubed or shredded), 1 (10.75 ounce) can condensed cream of mushroom soup, 1 (8 ounce) can water chestnuts (drained and chopped), cooked spaghetti, 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese, 1/2 cup milk, and 1 (4 ounce) jar pimentos (drained and chopped).
  4. Gently stir to combine.
  5. Pour mixture into a greased 1.5-quart casserole dish.
  6. Sprinkle remaining 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese evenly over the top.
  7. Bake for 45 minutes, or until heated through and bubbly. If the cheese isn't browned enough, broil for 1-2 minutes, watching carefully to prevent burning.
  8. Let stand for 5-10 minutes before serving.
