How to Make Crockpot Chicken Spaghetti
Busy day? Let the slow cooker handle dinner! This crockpot chicken spaghetti recipe is delicious on its own. I recommend serving it with garlic bread and a fresh salad to round out the meal.
- Season: Spray the crockpot with cooking spray. Add the chicken to a large slow cooker, then season with onion powder, garlic powder, paprika, salt, and pepper.
- Slow Cook: Add the soup, diced tomatoes and green chiles, onion, and garlic evenly over the chicken. Cover and cook on LOW for 6-8 hours, or on HIGH for 4-5 hours.
- Shred the Chicken: Use two forks to shred the chicken.
- Combine: Add the cooked spaghetti, cheddar, and sour cream. Stir crockpot chicken spaghetti until well combined.
Alyssa’s Pro Tip
Save the pasta water: Before draining the spaghetti, reserve about 1 cup of pasta water. Add a few tablespoons when reheating leftovers to help bring back the creamy, smooth texture.
