Hearty crockpot chicken spaghetti delivers comfort straight from Southern kitchens, blending creamy cheese and tender chicken into one irresistible meal. Slow-cooked perfection brings warmth to your table, inviting you to savor each delicious, cheesy bite.


Ingredients

Scale

Protein:

  • 3 Chicken Breasts
  • 2 cups Shredded cheddar cheese
  • 4 ounces (113 grams) cream cheese (diced)

Vegetables and Seasonings:

  • 1/2 Onion (diced)
  • 2 teaspoons Minced Garlic
  • 2 teaspoons Italian Seasoning
  • 1 can (10 ounces / 284 grams) diced tomatoes with green chiles (not drained)

Canned Goods and Pasta:

  • 1 can cream of chicken soup
  • 1 can cream of mushroom soup
  • 1 package (16 ounces / 454 grams) Spaghetti

Instructions

  1. Prepare the crockpot by layering raw chicken with diced tomatoes, cream of chicken soup, cream of mushroom soup, chopped onion, minced garlic, and Italian seasoning.
  2. Set the crockpot to high temperature and allow ingredients to cook thoroughly for 3-4 hours, or alternatively use low setting for 6-8 hours until chicken is tender and fully cooked.
  3. Carefully remove chicken from the liquid mixture and use two forks to shred the meat into bite-sized pieces, then return shredded chicken back to the crockpot.
  4. Add cream cheese and grated cheddar cheese to the crockpot, stirring gently to distribute evenly throughout the mixture.
  5. Cover and continue cooking on low temperature for 20-30 minutes, allowing cheeses to melt completely and create a smooth, creamy sauce.
  6. While cheese is melting, prepare spaghetti noodles in a separate pot, cooking until they reach al dente consistency according to package instructions.
  7. Drain pasta and fold noodles directly into the crockpot, mixing thoroughly to ensure every strand is coated with the cheesy chicken sauce.
  8. Transfer the chicken spaghetti to serving dishes, ensuring each portion has a balanced mix of pasta, chicken, and creamy sauce.
