Ingredients You’ll Need

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

How to Make CrockPot Cheesy Chicken Spaghetti Recipe

Step 1: Add Chicken, Sauces, and Seasonings to CrockPot

First, place the chicken breasts in the crock pot. Then pour in the diced tomatoes with green chiles. Add both cream soups, the diced onion, garlic, and Italian seasoning. Stir everything gently so it’s well mixed.

Step 2: Slow Cook and Shred Chicken

Cover and cook on high for 3–4 hours or low for 6–8 hours. The chicken will get very tender. Once done, remove the chicken, shred it with two forks, and return it to the pot. This makes it easy to mix with the creamy sauce.

Step 3: Stir in Cream Cheese and Cheddar

Next, stir in the cream cheese and shredded cheddar. Cover again and cook on low for another 20–30 minutes until melted and smooth.

Step 4: Cook Pasta Separately and Combine

Meanwhile, cook the spaghetti until just al dente. Drain well, then stir the pasta right into the creamy chicken mixture. As a result, the sauce will coat every strand perfectly.

Tips for Perfect Results

  • Always cook the pasta separately to keep the sauce creamy.
  • Shred chicken easily using two forks while it’s hot.
  • Taste and adjust seasoning before adding pasta for a perfect balance. The CrockPot Cheesy Chicken Spaghetti Recipe benefits from a little extra seasoning if needed.

Variations You Can Try

You can swap cheddar for Velveeta for extra creaminess. Also, try using chicken thighs or tenders for more flavor. Bell peppers or plain diced tomatoes work well too. For a fun twist, substitute pasta with rice or try different pasta shapes.

How to Store, Reheat, and Freeze

Store leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge for 4–5 days. Reheat in the microwave in short 30-second intervals, stirring often. You can freeze uncooked (without pasta) or fully cooked spaghetti for up to 3 months. Thaw in the fridge before reheating.
