Chicken Spaghetti

Who doesn't love creamy pasta with cheese and chicken?!  It's comfort in a bowl!!  I found this recipe on Pioneer Woman, who ismthe ultimate website for comfort food.  It sure hit the spot.
Boil the chicken breasts on the stove.  Once cooked through remove from the heat and let cool.  Shred into pieces and set aside.  Reserve 2 cups of the water. 
Cook pasta al dente then drain.
To the pasta add onions....
and green pepper.
Then add all but one cup of cheese, soup, pimentos and seasoning.  Mix until well combined.
Place in a casserole dish and top with remaining cheese.  Preheat oven to 350 degrees F and cook for around 45 minutes until it starts to bubble. 
I added some pepper on top for some extra spice.  This dish is a bowl full of delicious.  Sometimes you just need some comfort!
