Ingredients
Scale
Chicken and Sauce
- 2 pounds boneless skinless chicken breasts
- 1 can (10.5 ounces) cream of chicken soup
- 1 can (10.5 ounces) cream of mushroom soup
- 1 can (10 ounces) diced tomatoes with green chilies, drained
- 1 cup chicken broth
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon onion powder
- 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
Pasta and Cheese
- 12 ounces spaghetti, broken in half
- 2 cups shredded cheddar cheese
- 4 ounces cream cheese, cubed
Instructions
- Prepare the crockpot base: Place the boneless skinless chicken breasts at the bottom of the crockpot evenly.
- Mix sauces and spices: In a separate bowl, thoroughly combine the cream of chicken soup, cream of mushroom soup, drained diced tomatoes with green chilies, chicken broth, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and black pepper to create a flavorful sauce mixture.
- Add sauce to chicken: Pour the mixed sauce evenly over the chicken breasts in the crockpot, making sure they are well coated.
- Slow cook the chicken: Cover the crockpot and cook on low for 5 to 6 hours or on high for 3 to 4 hours until the chicken is cooked through and becomes tender enough to shred.
- Shred the chicken: Remove the cooked chicken breasts from the crockpot and shred them using two forks, then return the shredded chicken back into the crockpot.
- Melt cream cheese: Stir in the cubed cream cheese into the crockpot until it melts completely and combines smoothly with the other ingredients.
- Cook the spaghetti: While cheese melts, cook the spaghetti separately according to package instructions until al dente; drain well.
- Combine pasta and cheese: Add the cooked spaghetti along with shredded cheddar cheese to the crockpot. Stir thoroughly until all the cheese melts and everything is evenly combined.
- Heat through: Cover and continue cooking on low for an additional 10 to 15 minutes to ensure the dish is hot throughout and cheese is fully melted.
- Serve: Dish out warm and enjoy this creamy, hearty chicken spaghetti perfect for family meals.
Notes
- For extra flavor, add chopped bell peppers or onions at the beginning of cooking.
- Rotel tomatoes can be used as a substitute for diced tomatoes with green chilies to add a mild spicy flavor.
