Preparation Steps
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Lightly grease a 9x13 inch baking dish.
In a large skillet, melt the butter over medium heat. Add the garlic powder and onion powder and cook for 30 seconds until fragrant.
0.45 pound Spaghetti
Add the undrained Rotel tomatoes, shredded chicken, evaporated milk, salt, and pepper to the skillet. Stir to combine.

Bring the mixture to a simmer, then reduce heat and cook for 5 minutes, stirring occasionally.
Add the uncooked spaghetti to the skillet. Stir well to ensure the spaghetti is mostly submerged in the liquid. Cover the skillet and cook on low heat for 10-15 minutes, or until the spaghetti is al dente, stirring occasionally to prevent sticking.
0.45 pound Spaghetti
Once the spaghetti is cooked, stir in half of the cheddar cheese and half of the Monterey Jack cheese until melted.

Notes
You can add a can of drained corn or a drained can of black beans for extra flavor and texture. For a spicier dish, use hot Rotel tomatoes and add a pinch of cayenne pepper.
