Chicken Spaghetti

3 boneless, skinless chicken breasts, (we use organic)
1 (8 oz.) package thin spaghetti
1 (10.75 oz.) can of condensed cream of mushroom soup
1 (10 oz.) can of Rotel (original flavor)
1/3 block of Velveeta cheese, (we use the 2% milk variety to save a few calories)

1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Boil chicken in a large pot. When chicken is done, remove from pot, keeping water/broth at a boil. Shred chicken and set aside. Put spaghetti in boiling chicken broth and cook for 8 to 10 minutes, until al dente. When done, drain broth.
2. Return pot with cooked spaghetti to stove, put over low heat. Add shredded chicken, soup, diced tomatoes with chile peppers and cheese. Pop into a casserole dish and stick 'er in the oven for 20-30 minutes until everything is nice and bubbly.
