Prepare the cooked spaghetti according to package instructions, drain, and set aside.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the cream of chicken soup, sour cream, chicken broth, garlic powder, onion powder, paprika, salt, and black pepper. Mix until smooth.
Add the cooked shredded chicken and 1 cup of shredded Monterey Jack cheese to the soup mixture. Stir until evenly combined.
Grease the inside of your crock pot with butter to prevent sticking.
Layer half of the cooked spaghetti into the bottom of the crock pot.
Pour half of the chicken and soup mixture over the spaghetti layer, spreading it evenly.
Repeat by adding the remaining spaghetti and topping it with the rest of the chicken and soup mixture.
Sprinkle the remaining 1 cup of shredded Monterey Jack cheese evenly across the top.
Cover and cook on low heat for 2 hours, or until the cheese is melted and bubbly and the dish is heated through.
Before serving, gently stir the contents if desired or leave it layered for a lasagna-style presentation.
Garnish with freshly chopped parsley for a pop of color and fresh flavor.
