Ingredients
16 oz Velveeta cheese, cubed
1 (10.5 oz) can cream of chicken soup
1 can of milk (use the empty soup can to measure)
1 (10 oz) can Rotel (diced tomatoes with green chiles), undrained
1 box (12–16 oz) rotini noodles
1 lb cooked chicken (diced or shredded – rotisserie works great!)
Instructions
Cook rotini noodles according to package instructions. Drain and set aside.
In a skillet, cook chicken until browned and cooked through. Set aside.
In a large pot over medium heat, combine Velveeta, cream of chicken soup, milk, and Rotel. Stir until cheese is fully melted and the sauce is smooth.
Add in cooked chicken and rotini noodles. Stir well to combine.
Let everything simmer together for 5–10 minutes on low heat, allowing flavors to meld.
Serve hot with cracked pepper or a sprinkle of shredded cheddar for extra cheesiness.
