Slow Cooker Cheesy Chicken Spaghetti
This Slow Cooker Cheesy Chicken Spaghetti was easy to make and so good! It makes a lot, using a pound of spaghetti noodles, so it is great for a family or company. However, this recipe would be easy to split in half. It has a hint of spiciness because of the green chile peppers but not a lot, they add a nice flavor. Adding the cream cheese and cheddar cheese at the end, topped this dish off perfectly!
Ingredients
In the slow cooker mix the melted butter, seasoned salt,
Worcestershire sauce and garlic.
Add the chicken breasts to the slow cooker.
Turn chicken to coat both sides with the butter mixture.
In a medium bowl combine the tomatoes, soup and green chile peppers.
Pour over the top of the chicken.
Cover and cook on high for 3-4 hours.
Remove the chicken and place on a cutting board.
Using two forks shred the chicken.
In a large pot, boil water over medium heat.
Cook spaghetti according to the package directions then drain.
Place shredded chicken back in the slow cooker.
Add the cream cheese by spoonfuls and the shredded cheddar cheese.
Stir and continue to cook in the slow cooker until completely melted,
stirring frequently.
Add the cooked and drained spaghetti.
Mix pasta into the slow cooker mixture.
Let spaghetti sit in the slow cooker mixture for about five minutes and serve.

Thanks Happy New Year!
Oh dear…another must make!
You may want to cut it in half. It took the two of us 3 days to finish. Of course we never complained and finished it all…lol
Happy New Year!
Thanks for the tip!
You’re welcome!
Love the step-by-step recipe, thanks for sharing!
Thank you chef! I like to do the step by step for anyone new to cooking. I learned by trial and error and figured this gives them an easy start.
That’s really a great idea, looking forward to reading more of your posts!
I made this last night. I was going to add grilled Anaheim peppers (I keep some type of grilled pepper in the fridge at all times) but I decided to save them for breakfast. I did use spaghetti squash instead of pasta. We’ve been on vacation and need to cut back on carbs for a while. 🙂
In other words, I made this exactly has you directed with the exception of the spaghetti squash and my husband finished and said “you can make this again!”
Its a great dish; little effort, little time invested and great taste.
Thank you for sharing!
I am so glad you liked it! Your husband sounds like mine only mine always adds, I’ll never see it again will I? Lol I make so many different dishes I don’t repeat my recipes a lot. Thank you for letting me know how you liked it!
