Directions
Step 1 -Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F.
Step 2 -Bring a large pot of water to a boil on the stove-top on high heat.

Step 4 -Remove the chicken from the pot and let cool.
Step 5 -Remove about 2 cups of the broth produced by cooking the chicken.
Step 6 -Once the chicken has cooled, remove the skin and pull 2 cups of meat from the chicken.
Step 7 -For maximum flavor, cook the spaghetti in the same chicken cooking broth until al dente, following package directions.
Step 8 -Drain the spaghetti.
Step 9 -In a large mixing bowl, combine the cooked chicken, mushroom soup, 1 1/2 cups of the cheese, green peppers, red peppers, onions, seasoned salt, and cayenne. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
