Creamy Cajun Chicken Spaghetti

This is a (slightly) healthier version of one of my favorite comfort foods, which i adapted from my sister-in-law. You can always add more veggies to make this dish healthier...they'll be smothered with cheese so you won't even notice they're there, which is great for the kids! I recommend saving unused vegetable parts for a homemade stock. And, for easy clean up, use a plastic crockpot liner.

Steps

Trim fat off of chicken breasts and save for chicken stock bag.
Boil the chicken in large pot with water for 45 minutes.
Wash vegetables.
Dice onion and chop celery.
Heat small amount of canola oil in a medium skillet over medium-high heat.
Saute celery until translucent , about 3-4 minutes.
Add onion and saute until translucent.
Set aside.
Remove chicken from stock pot and allow to cool.
In remaining chicken stock , cook whole wheat spaghetti noodles according to package directions.
Shred or cut chicken breasts into small pieces and transfer to a large bowl.
Cut velveeta into cubes.
Mix velveeta , cream of chicken , cream of mushroom , rotel , onion , celery , spaghetti noodles , and seasoning to bowl , stir until well mixed.
Throw everything in the crockpot or oven until cheese melts and spaghetti is warm throughout.
