Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 pounds chicken breasts
- 12 ounces spaghetti
- 2 cups chicken broth
- 1 can (10.5 ounces) cream of chicken soup
- 1 can (10 ounces) rotel (diced tomatoes and green chilies)
- 8 ounces cream cheese
- 2 cups shredded cheddar cheese
- 2 teaspoons minced garlic
- 1 teaspoon onion powder
- 1 teaspoon paprika
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 0.5 teaspoons black pepper
- 2 tablespoons fresh parsley (optional, for garnish)
Instructions
Place the chicken breasts in the bottom of the crockpot.
Add chicken broth, cream of chicken soup, rotel, minced garlic, onion powder, paprika, salt, and black pepper over the chicken.
Cover the crockpot and cook on HIGH for 3 hours or LOW for 6 hours, until the chicken is fully cooked and tender.
Once the chicken is cooked, remove it from the crockpot and shred it using two forks, then return the shredded chicken to the crockpot.
Break the spaghetti noodles in half and add them to the crockpot. Stir to ensure the noodles are evenly coated in the sauce.
Cut the cream cheese into cubes and add it to the crockpot along with 1 1/2 cups of shredded cheddar cheese (reserve the remaining 1/2 cup). Stir to combine.
Cover the crockpot and cook on HIGH for 30 minutes, stirring halfway through to ensure the spaghetti cooks evenly.
Once the spaghetti is tender and the cheese is fully melted, sprinkle the remaining 1/2 cup of shredded cheddar cheese on top. Cover and cook for an additional 5-10 minutes until the cheese is melted.
Serve hot, garnished with fresh parsley if desired. Enjoy your creamy, cheesy chicken spaghetti!
