My first trick is rotisserie chicken! No need to slice and cook chicken from scratch. Rotisserie chicken is a lifesaver!

You can pick up rotisserie chicken from most grocery stores in the United States. All you need to do is shred the chicken and use it in this Easy Chicken Spaghetti.

My second trick is good quality chicken broth! I use Swanson® Chicken Broth to add a punch of chicken flavor in this recipe.

Swanson® broths are made from the perfect balance of high quality stock, farm-grown vegetables (carrots, celery, onions), and seasonings. Also, Only Swanson® starts with a Premium Double Stock for Richer Flavor!
