Ingredients to make chicken spaghetti casserole

You will need the following ingredients to make chicken spaghetti casserole.

• shredded chicken- If you use rotisserie chicken, do not add seasoned salt because the chicken will be seasoned and it will become too salty. I don't recommend canned chicken, but you can use it if you want.
