Crockpot Chicken Spaghetti

Ingredients

• 2 boneless, skinless chicken breasts
• 20 oz cream of chicken soup (2 cans; use two 10-ounce cans)
• 10 oz Rotel diced tomatoes and green chilies (Do not drain)
• 8 oz shredded cheese (Cheddar, Colby Jack, or mozzarella; the transcript specifies Colby Jack)
• 0.5 cup sour cream
• 1.5 tsp garlic powder (The listed amount is 1½ teaspoons each of garlic powder and paprika)
• 1.5 tsp paprika (The listed amount is 1½ teaspoons each of garlic powder and paprika)
• 1 tsp salt (Use 1–2 teaspoons; start with 1 teaspoon and adjust to taste)
• 0.5 tsp Italian seasoning
• black pepper (Dash)
• 16 oz spaghetti (Cooked and drained according to package directions; approximately one 16-ounce box)

Steps

1. 1

   Place the chicken breasts in the crockpot. Add the cream of chicken soup and the undrained Rotel. Sprinkle in the garlic powder, paprika, salt, black pepper, and Italian seasoning. Stir slightly so the chicken is covered by the sauce.

2. 2

   Cover the crockpot and cook on LOW for 6–7 hours or HIGH for 4–5 hours, until the chicken is cooked through and shreds easily. The video transcript uses the HIGH setting for about 4 hours.

3. 3

   Remove the cooked chicken from the crockpot. Shred it with two forks, then return the shredded chicken to the sauce.

4. 4

   Stir in the sour cream and shredded cheese. Continue stirring until the cheese is completely melted and the sauce is smooth and creamy.

5. 5

   Meanwhile, cook the spaghetti according to the package directions. Drain it well.

6. 6

   Add the cooked, drained spaghetti to the crockpot. Stir until the pasta is evenly coated in the creamy sauce.

7. 7

   Taste and adjust the seasoning if needed. Serve warm. The video transcript also mentions topping the finished dish with a little extra Colby Jack cheese, although that extra amount is not specified.

Notes

The source gives both low and high slow-cooker options. It does not specify an exact pasta cooking time because the spaghetti should be prepared according to its package directions. The transcript says the finished dish may be topped with extra Colby Jack cheese, but no quantity is provided.
