  1. A fan has asked for the name of the dish that Anna cooked for Josh's sisters. It is called Chicken Etti, and I posted Anna's recipe on the main page of the blog. Thanks for reading!

  2. This is a new recipe for me, but I will have to give it a try. My family loves green pepper, so I will probably add more of that. Thanks for posting!

  3. Thank you so much for posting this recipe. My husband and I saw it on the episode and my husband said "EMMM that looks realllly good." So I searched all day yesterday to see if someone out there posted it. So, thank you! I'll let you know what we think.

  6. All the Duggar recipes seen to be made of a bunch of processed "food" products mixed together. They all seem very bad for their kids' health.

      The Dugger family appears to be just fine to me! If more families could only began to share the bond, health , and love these folks have as "one" this world would be a much better place.

    2. Blaaah! The Duggar children all appear healthy and most importantly none of them are obese! As a child growing up in a large family myself all of us kids fended for ourselves, eating (ugh) hamburger helper, canned beans n cheap hot dogs, canned ravioli and chili...I was an adult before I ever tasted fresh veggies and real home cooked meals. Hats off to Grandma Duggar, Jim Bob & Michelle for the wonderful job they are doing raising future fine, productive children with high moral standards, integrity and character. God Bless America and all the wonderful families such as the Duggars!

    3. My goodness, you would think that "this doesn't look healthy" were a personal attack against someone. It ISN'T healthy. But an easy way to make it healthier would be to use whole grain pasta, make the cream soup yourself, add more pepper and onions, and melt cream cheese and cheddar together to make a velveeta alternative.

  7. I would love to hear what those of you who have tried or plan to try Anna's recipe think of it! Feel free to post you comments and critiques of the dish!

    1. I tried this recipe n tweaked it to make it healthier. I poached the chicken breasts in water to cover until done reserving the poaching liquid. In a large pot, I brought water to a boil, salted the water & added a pkg of fettachini pasta and cooked 1/2 the time specified on pkg (since we like are pasta al dente and baking further cooks the pasta), I drained the pasta n rinsed with cold water an set aside in a collander. In the pasta pot I made a rue from butter and a splash of olive oil with about 2 T flour until flour was golden, I added onions, bell peppers and slice mushrooms and sauteed until they softened with a little more olive oil. I then added 2 cups low fat milk, about 3 T sherry and stirred until rue mixture was thickened, added a can of diced tomatoes, a bay leaf, italian seasoning salt n pepper, the chicken (chopped into bite size pieces) the pasta and 1/2 cup Kraft parmesean cheese & mixed well with my pasta spoon (haha we call it the pasta comb), some of the chicken broth to thin it out a bit; I added a cup frozen peas for color. I had a baking dish presprayed with spray oil then added half of the casserole and 1/2 cup shredded Italian style shredded cheese, another layer of casserole and the rest of the pkg of italian style cheese (8oz pkg in total). I then topped it with seasoned bread crumbs a few pats of butter and about 1/4 cup parm. cheese and baked in 350 degree oven for about 30 mins. I took it out the oven & let it set while I put my homemade garlic bread in oven (whole loaf of french bread, finely minced garlic, salt, paprika and butter and finely chopped parsely combined and spred on the bread which I cut into serving sized pieces and placed on foil lined cookie sheet, turned up oven to 400 n baked until crispy about 10 minutes. I also pqrepared a simple green salad with olive oil vinegarette and well la! A restaurant quality, lower in fat and sodium. And for just a few dollars! My picky family ate every morsel of the chicken pasta n I only had 2 pots and the collander n baking dish to rinse & put into the dishwasher! I love easy one or 2 pot comfort meals. Only wish I had leftovers to take for lunch.

      Hint: I always buy meat n poultry in family size pkgs on sale and divide into freezer bags sealed and put name n quanity of product along with the date & price per pound...it makes me smile to see say chicken breasts @ .99 lb, chuck beef and pork roasts @ $1.99 lb. I also keep a well stocked pantry of dried pasta, canned tomato products, dry beans, rice (white, brown, jasmine), barley, canned summer crisp corn, pickles, olives, beef, veggie n chicken stocks in boxes, whole oats, flour, cormeal things I use every week n always buy on sale, rotating my stock. I also have a large easy to access collection of seasonings and spices always purchased on sale buy 1 get one free. Since I live in the South, I buy frozen veggies and trinity/southern seasoning as fresh veggies aren't as economical even in season besides potatoes, onions, celery, garlic, greens, brocolli, cauliflower, parsley n cilantro, tomatoes esp in summer. By keeping my cupboards and freezers filled with sale items, I not only save money but I can whip u a meal without running to town :) I'm not an avid couponer but I do use them but only for things we use or for buy one get one free or free items. Once I saved $32.00 with coupons and I was thrilled bc I came out of the store with real foods, cleanimg products and paper towels :)

      God Bless n eat well & remember portion control...u can maintain a healthy weight just by eating foods u love as long as u portion control...we eat on our 7" salad plates...our dinner plates r 12" n I use them as platters :)

  8. I looked back at the episode, and it looked to me like Anna sprinkled grated cheese on her Chicken Etti, but I'm sure bread crumbs would be a great variation!

    ReplyDelete
  9. did she also say she used Rotel? at the end, I thought she sprinkled shredded mozzarella???

    ReplyDelete
  10. I use the same cheese she does. It was Walmart's brand of shredded mozzarella. I've also read that some peope put crushed butter crackers on top. Hope this helps.

    ReplyDelete
  11. just watched the show..I think the cheese she sprinkled on there was mozz. I'm going to try this one!

    ReplyDelete
  12. Ok~cooked it for supper tonight~before I found her actual recipe, I'd found a similar on the net. I can't stick to a recipe though~always have to add my touch. My 84 yr old father is sensitive to acid in tomatoes, so using other recipe, put 1 can cream of chicken and one can of cream of mushroom soup! Also, added about 2 cups of chicken broth to spaghetti water & diced chicken tenders and placed in to cook with noodles along with diced onions and peppers.Saved out a cup of the broth noodles and chicken were cooked in to use for the broth. Topped with cheddar cheese and bread crumbs~delicious!

  13. I made this for the family and they loved it. My husband went back for seconds twice LOL

  14. Thanks to those who tried Anna's recipe and posted your variations!
    Yes, Anna did mention using Rotel, but that must just be the brand of canned tomatoes she uses.

    1. Rotel is tomatoes and diced green chillies.

  15. I have been thinking about this dish since I saw Anna prepare it for the family. I looked great. Tomorrow is Sunday and I plan on serving it to my family for dinner. I have all of the ingredients on hand already but I will use penne noodles instead. I am sure it will be delish. Tinya

  16. It did look so good. Thanks for posting, I will be making this today, with the cheddar biscuits!! Love the show!!

  17. Here in the south we also call this Chicken Spaghetti. The diced tomatoes used and mentioned above are actually diced tomatoes and green chilis (which is a can of Rotel (for those of you not familiar, Rotel is the brand name...there are generics out there however...I know Kroger definitely has a Kroger brand of Rotel)). Rotel is usually found on the aisle with the canned vegetables, grouped with other canned diced/crushed/stewed tomatoes (instead of with tomato sauce and noodles and other Italian).

    Actually, here in the south (I am in Memphis, TN) we use the name Rotel to mean the cheese dip we make when you combine a pound of Velveeta (cubed) with a can of Rotel (I use the original...it is spicy but not too hot...beware of the HOT version as it really packs some heat!). So if you are craving some queso or making Mexican, put the cubed Velveeta (1 small block of 1/2 a large block) and a can of Rotel (not drained) in a microwavable dish/bowl and microwave on increments of a minute or so, stirring in between each time. You could also do it in a Crock Pot. Just either way, remember to stir regularly because it WILL burn on the bottom! You can add spices to your liking...I usually add some garlic powder or garlic salt, a little pepper, and a little cumin to mine. Another also optional addition is cooked and drained hamburger meat or ground sausage.

    Ok back to the Chicken Spaghetti/Chickenetti! There are several versions out there (I've had many of them throughout the years and each version has been delicious). I've had some that incorporated Cream of Mushroom soup in them (either in addition to or instead of the Cream of Chicken). In mine, after everything is mixed and Velveeta is melted (key to this is to first, have a huge stock pot to mix it all up in...and the other key is timing...I've done mine so many times it's down to a science!). The way I do mine is I pre-cube Velveeta while I cook the chicken. When the chicken is done, I take it out of the broth to let it cool but I SAVE THE BROTH. I then cook the noodles in the chicken broth and sauté peppers and onions at same time. When both are ready, I start making "layers" in the big empty stock pot...layer of cubed Velveeta pieces, some of the hot spaghetti noodles (still save the broth though), some of the hot sauteed onions and peppers, the spices I add, and a little of the broth (plus whatever else you will be using like a little of the Cream of Chicken soup, etc)...then repeat (I have learned that this makes it much easier to stir and get it all mixed together faster). Once it is all mixed together (which goes a lot faster if you do it this way because most ingredients are piping hot which melts the Velveeta fairly easily), I cubed the cooled chicken and mix it into the mixture. One time saver if you are in a rush is to use a rotisserie chicken from the grocery (don't use that gross canned chicken though...it ruins it). Once it all is mixed, I lastly gently mix in a can of peas (drained) and a jar of pimentos (also drained). Also, when I make this, I put some extra time into it because I think it pays off. I double or even at times triple the recipe (I wait until the split chicken breasts go on sale at the grocery go on sale for .99/lb or less)....then I freeze some (I use different freezer Tupperware...put a little in a single size for when it's just me and put some in larger ones for when I will have company) because it freezes beautifully.

    As for topping, I usually never add anything on top. If you wanted to, I would advise Parmesean cheese. I don't think I would add shredded cheese because the dish is already so cheesey and doesn't need it.

    Anyways, hope this helps those of you who have never heard of Chicken Spaghetti/Chickenetti or even Rotel! Enjoy! You'll love it!!

  18. Thanks for the information about Chicken Etti/Chicken Spaghetti; it is great to hear different variations! And thanks for telling us what Rotel really is! Looks like Anna Duggar's recipe is a favorite among newbies and pros alike.

    ReplyDelete
  19. Anna uses Rotel tomatoes but you can use another brand. They are diced tomotoes with Jalapeno peppers. Not real hot, especially when used with cheese etc. They make thier "Caso" with it too..one lb velveta one can of rotel...nice for a dip, but it like it over pasta as a side dish.

  24. i have been looking for this recipie since last week i even tried to catch it tonight when the show was reran lol but never caught it all.
    I noticed that it never said how much of spaghetti other than a package but was wondering if this is a 1 LB package or 2 LB package

    ReplyDelete
  25. Caso?? Do you mean Queso?

    ReplyDelete
  26. Most people use a 1-lb package, but it all depends on how you want it to turn out. Some people prefer to add more noodles than the recipe calls for. I would suggest trying it out to see how you like it. =]

  27. I just cooked the chickenetti tonight. It was delicious.

    ReplyDelete
  28. I am glad she liked it but I could not eat this. They seem to enjoy lots of casseroles and convenience foods there. Seriously, 1 lb of Velveeta? She could have made a much healthier meal for the two of them (and their family). They are packing on the pounds by the looks of it.

  29. Does anyone know how many servings this recipe will make? I am planning on making it for my SIL's birthday lunch (and serving it with a salad on the side) and will have about 10 people to feed.

    ReplyDelete
  30. We love this recipe!
    Only thing I did different was I Cooked chicken breast in chicken broth, I added 1 chopped onion. Cooked the chicken breast until done. Then I shredded the chicken. Then followed Ana's recipe from there. My 4 yr.old loves this and asked for seconds! She never has seconds!

  32. This recipe should feed 8 to 10 people. How about serving some garlic bread or biscuits along with the salad. That way, if your guests have healthy appetites, you will have enough for everyone.

    ReplyDelete
  33. Made this for dinner and the kids LOVED it! I made a fresh salad and fresh fruit along side, and when served in a normal portion-size, I feel it is not too unhealthy. I poached the chicken in the crock pot, used Rotel, and subsitiuted whole grain spaghetti. Yes, there is a lot of velveeta and cream of chicken soup, but our family of 4 barely ate 1/2 the 9X13 pan since I served salad and fresh fruit with it. My Mom and Dad even tried the leftovers and were asking for more! I have read a lot of criticism about the Duggar cooking, but would like to point out that their children are not obese nor are they eating lots of fast food (like lots of americans). I applaud their family meals together. God Bless you!

  38. I'm so glad that the recipe was shared here. It looked really good on TV. It's too bad that there will always be people that cannot resist posting their negative comments. Kudos to the Duggars for sharing their lives so intimately.

  39. I made this last night, and I topped it with bread crumbs. The next time I make it (and I will because we liked it) I will add more green pepper and tomatoes, and I will also try adding some spices because it was a little bland for us but we like food that is a little on the spicy side! - Ashley :)

  42. My grandma has a version of this and I made it last night. Hers uses sharp or mild cheddar cheese. I used sharp and it was wonderful!!! I think the velveeta would be great too just more calories than the shredded sharp cheese. I also used whole wheat(I try to squeeze healthy stuff anywhere I can) rotini noodles and they were a huge hit. Easier to eat for the little ones(and mom too ,lol)!! :) Thanks for sharing and love your family!!

    ReplyDelete
  43. Here in Pennsylvania Dutch Country, we make this without tomatoes, so this surprised me. Our recipe
    is wonderfully cheesy, so I'm not sure I'd like this one.

    For those concerned whether it's healthy, you can also use whole wheat pasta. Served with peas fresh from the garden or a green salad, this is an inexpensive, filling, yummy dish.

    For time saving, cook a bunch of chicken and shred it, then freeze it. Freeze the chicken broth in quart or pint containers. Just thaw before using

    ReplyDelete
  44. I made this for my family but we aren't big on velveta so i used a 1 lb. block of cheddar and it was really good.

    ReplyDelete
  45. I think this recipe is one popular in the south. It's really good, and I have seen several variations on it. When I make it for my family I use 3 whole chicken breasts, boil them with some garlic and black pepper, and dice the meat when done and cooled. Save 1 cup of the chicken broth to use instead of the milk. Also the spaghetti is cooked in the hot chicken broth. I use 1 cup of reduced fat cheddar and 1 cup of monetery jack cheese instead of the velveeta along with a can of rotel tomatoes and a can of fat-free cream of chicken soup. It's mixed all up and baked. The version I make does not have the bread crumbs. It makes a lot, and we have a couple days of leftovers with it. As other posters have said, serve it with some steamed peas, a salad, or/and some fruit to balance it out. To me this is really good comfort food.

  55. Can anyone say calorie bomb?
    I am nauseated. What is truly gross is that they recommend serving it with cheese biscuits? A single biscuit has hundreds of calories!

    I'm honestly surprised Josh hasn't gotten even fatter than he is already. I hurt for those children if they are eating this way. They will start out life as morbidly obese.

  58. I made chicken Etti and the first few bites are good but after that you start to feel sick it's like eating junk food for dinner. I was truly disappointed i will not be making anymore of their food recipes.

    ReplyDelete
  59. So many people are judging them based on what they eat. Don't we all have to learn somehow? We haven't all arrived when it comes to healthy eating!

    That being said, there are some easy ways to make this healthier. Make your own cream of chicken soup and use homemade cheese sauce instead of the Velveeta. I don't think I've ever bought Velveeta, but that doesn't stop me from making a yummy cheese sauce :)

    You can even dice your own tomatoes and hot peppers if you want to. Make your own pasta if you feel that's better!

    Seriously people. Time to stop judging, and live your own life.

    Here are my recipes for Cream of Chicken Soup and Cheddar Cheese Sauce:

    Cheddar Cheese Sauce:
    3 Tbsp butter
    3 Tbsp flour
    1 cup milk
    1 cup medium cheddar (sharp)
    salt to taste (about 1/2 tsp)

    Melt butter, stir in flour. Let bubble for a minute or two. Whisk in milk and heat until bubbling and thick. Stir in cheese and salt.


    Cream of Chicken Soup
    3 Tbsp butter
    3 Tbsp flour
    1/2 cup strong chicken broth (I make my own)
    1/2 cup milk
    a small amount of the following spices: onion powder, garlic powder, paprika, pepper, salt, poultry seasoning

    It was like less than 1/8 of a tsp for all except for salt and poultry seasoning. I did about 1/8 tsp for those.

    Stacey- thanks for the cream of recipes. I was worried about using the velvetta and canned stuff. I haven't bought that sort of food in a while, and I wanted to try it, but was afraid substiuting cheese and thickened chicken broth would make it turn it out funky.

    Totally agree, Velveeta? is it even real food? Canned cream of whatever soup...the sodium content is atrocious. This is a heart attack on a plate, I think the only real ingredients are the green peppers and chicken.

    ReplyDelete
  64. If you eat fast food you're already eating much worse than this. I must've missed the memo where they claimed it was healthy. Or where they were responsible for the choices others have in choosing to also eat this way or not.

    ReplyDelete
  65. Get real everyone! Look around! Half of the people I see on the street are obese and if you look at the photos of the Duggars, they are the picture of health! One person isn't eating the whole dish and I am sure they, like all of us, serve their main dish with sides of vegetables and fruits. Let's face it, they are doing something right and if you don't want to read this blog and enjoy it, then don't. Who is packing on the pounds? Are we looking at the same family? Jim Bob and Josh are pretty much normal size in this world we live in and the rest of the family members are down right skinny. Eat up Duggars! From your favorite fan, Paula

    ReplyDelete
  66. Are there specific measurements? I know that with a large family you'd use more, but what if you're only cooking for two people? What size cans do we need? How big a box of spaghetti noodles? etc. How much does one recipe make?

  70. Velveeta is not cheese it is a by product of glue
    too many canned and processed foods would not make this
    you would think with this many children they would know how to cook with fresh food because it is cheaper to boil up a couple of chickens to make stock than using all that canned stuff

    ReplyDelete
  71. Velveeta Ingredients:

    Milk, Water, Whey, Milk Protein Concentrate, Milkfat, Whey Protein Concentrate, Sodium Phosphate, Contains 2% or less of: Salt, Calcium Phosphate, Lactic Acid, Sorbic Acid, Sodium Citrate, Sodium Alginate, Enzymes, Apocarotenal, Annatto, Cheese Culture.

    Which part of this is a by product of glue?

  72. I just want to say to the people who criticize the "non healthy ingredients" should just keep their opinions to themselves. Not everybody eats "perfect" all the time. I am grateful for the recipe. My family enjoys it. I guess that make me a horrible mom, but my kids are healthy and happy! And yes I also give my kids chicken McNuggets! OH NO! I might as well just put poison into their bodies. I just get frustrated when people always have to put others down because they think they are better.

  75. I made up a way to make this in the crockpot, for anyone interested.

    Oil the crockpot. Put the chicken in and season with lemon pepper. Cook until it's about half done. Drain fat. Add bell pepper and onion (most other recipes for this call for bell pepper and onion so I add it for a little bit more nutrition), garlic, Rotel, and cream of chicken soup. Fill the cream soup can again with water or low-sodium chicken broth and pour that in. Add spaghetti noodles. Stir all that around and cook until pasta is done. Add Velveeta and a handful of cheddar and stir. Add pepper if desired. Serve when cheese is melted.

    The original recipe is yummy but takes multiple pots and pans so I rarely make it, but now I can make it often for my big family. :)

  76. I just made a batch of this for my lunches for the upcoming week. I've made it several times in the past, but this time I didn't put chicken in it. It's just as tasty without the chicken, in my opinion. I've had poor Anna on my mind frequently. Praying for her and her angel babies.
