Description

This Easy CrockPot Chicken Spaghetti is a creamy, cheesy, and comforting dish that’s perfect for busy weeknights. With tender shredded chicken, spaghetti, and a rich sauce made with cream soups, tomatoes, and plenty of cheese, it’s a family favorite made simple in the slow cooker.


Ingredients

Scale
  • 3 chicken breasts
  • 1 can (10 oz) diced tomatoes with green chiles, not drained
  • 1 can cream of chicken soup
  • 1 can cream of mushroom soup
  • ½ onion, diced
  • 2 teaspoons minced garlic
  • 2 teaspoons Italian seasoning
  • 4 oz cream cheese, diced
  • 2 cups shredded cheddar cheese
  • 1 package spaghetti (16 oz)

Instructions

  1. Place the chicken breasts in the bottom of the CrockPot.
  2. Add the diced tomatoes with green chiles (with liquid), cream of chicken soup, cream of mushroom soup, diced onion, minced garlic, and Italian seasoning.
  3. Cover and cook on low for 6–7 hours or high for 3–4 hours, until the chicken is fully cooked and tender.
  4. Remove the chicken, shred it with two forks, then return it to the CrockPot.
  5. Add the diced cream cheese and stir until melted into the sauce.
  6. Meanwhile, cook the spaghetti according to package directions, then drain.
  7. Add the cooked spaghetti to the CrockPot and mix well to coat in the creamy sauce.
  8. Stir in 1½ cups of shredded cheddar cheese, then sprinkle the remaining ½ cup on top. Cover for 5 minutes until melted.
  9. Serve warm, garnished with fresh parsley if desired.

Notes

  • You can substitute rotisserie chicken to save time—just stir it in after the sauce is ready.
  • Try using Velveeta or Monterey Jack cheese for a creamier or milder flavor.
  • This dish makes great leftovers—store in the fridge for up to 3 days.
