after researching, i didn't find much talk about chicken spaghetti... But how bad of a dinner choice is it ? Recipe would consist of whole grain noodles, light velveta, Rotel, reduced cream of chicken/mushroom. Any input would be appreciated

I got a similar recipe. Control your portion size and it would be great for dinner in my opinion. Pair it with a side of veggies.0

personally, I would try this with spaghetti squash instead of pasta. You can use laughing cow cheese, instead of the Velveeta. You would save a gazillion calories - LOL0

I forget about the spaghetti squash option! Excellent recommendation!personally, I would try this with spaghetti squash instead of pasta. You can use laughing cow cheese, instead of the Velveeta. You would save a gazillion calories - LOL0

One word: sodium.
We have spaghetti squash as well. It's excellent. But cheese is quite high in sodium and you might find yourself retaining water then.0 -

For some reason, I can not seem to find laughing cow! Is it with the regular cheese??0 -
I think I usually find the laughing cow cheese wedges by the regular cheese. My store (Kroger) It is between the refridgerated juice and the shredded cheese.0

Yes I agree try regular real cheese and it won't be so bad. Velveeta and even the Kraft singles aren't even cheese. They are cheese products. If it melts easy its probably not real cheese.0

I always find Laughing Cow in the deli with the "fancy" cheeses like brie and havarti.0

my grocery store keeps the laughing cow wedges in the deli department.0

Whatever you do, please don't use Velveeta. Read this and see if you still want to put it in your body:
"In 2002, the FDA issued a Warning Letter to Kraft that Velveeta was being sold with packaging that described it as a "Pasteurized Process Cheese Spread," which the FDA claimed was misbranded because the product declared milk protein concentrate (MPC) in its ingredients listing. Velveeta is now sold in the U.S. as a "Pasteurized Prepared Cheese Product," a term for which the FDA does not maintain a standard of identity, and which therefore may contain MPC."
"a term for which the FDA does not maintain a standard of identity" - this means that they can pretty much do any kind of crap they want and as long as they use the right oveall term, the FDA can't call them on it. since the FDA hasn't defined any actual rules for what it means. That terrifies me.0
