Chicken Spaghetti No Velveeta Or Cream Soups
I was looking for a chicken spaghetti recipe that did not have velveeta or cream soups. when i couldn't find one after 30 min of searching, i decided to make my own. here it is. the cheese sauce still makes it very creamy like the one you are used to. when my kids ate it, they all said it was yummy and went back for seconds and thirds.
Steps

Heat oil in a skillet.
Add chicken , onion , garlic , and bell pepper.
Sautee for about 5 minutes or until veggies are tender.
Add tomatoes , chiles , salt , pepper , thyme , and oregano.
Let simmer while you do other steps.
Boil spaghetti until al dente.
While spaghetti is cooking , in a medium saucepan cook evaporated milk , 1 / 2 c of the milk , ground mustard , garlic powder and 1 / 2 teaspoon salt.
Bring to a boil and reduce to a simmer.
Stir regularly as it will stick to bottom of pan.
Whisk the cornstarch and the remaining 1 / 4 c of milk together.
Then , whisk it into the simmering mixture.
