Method
 

Prep and Cook
  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
  2. Cook the spaghetti in a pot of salted boiling water according to package directions; usual time is 8-10 minutes.
  3. Sear the chicken breasts in a skillet until golden and cooked through, about 6-7 minutes per side. Once cool, shred into bite-sized pieces.
  4. Crisp the bacon in the same skillet until it's perfectly crispy, then crumble it.
  5. Mix in a large bowl the cream of chicken soup, sour cream, and half the cheddar cheese until smooth. Then, add the cooked spaghetti, shredded chicken, and crumbled bacon; stir gently.
  6. Transfer the mixture to a greased 9x13-inch baking dish, topping it with the remaining cheese, crumbled bacon, and green onions.
  7. Bake for 20-25 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and bubbly. Let it sit for a few minutes before serving.
