Ingredients
To make this you’ll need:
- Chicken– Boneless, skinless chicken breasts
- Diced tomatoes– The canned kind with green chilies like Rotel
- Cream of chicken soup– Don’t have cream of chicken? Use any cream of you have! Cream of celery, mushroom, or even cheddar would all work well.
- Diced onion– Save yourself the time and buy the pre-diced onion in the produce section of the store.
- Minced garlic– Again you can buy a jar of this and save yourself the time!
- Spices– Onion powder, paprika, salt, and pepper
- Cheese– Sharp cheddar
- Sour cream– Use full fat
- Spaghetti
How to Make
To make this easy slow cooker chicken spaghetti, just add the chicken, seasonings, onion, garlic, soup, and canned tomatoes to your slow cooker.
Stir it all together so it’s evenly combined.
Put the lid on and cook it on low for 4-5 hours or until the chicken is cooked.
Shred the chicken and stir in the sour cream and cheddar cheese.
Then boil up some spaghetti according to the directions on the package.
Stir the cooked spaghetti into the slow cooker.
Serve and enjoy!
Storing Leftovers
Store leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 4 days.
Reheat in the microwave until warmed through.
Will the chicken dry out in the slow cooker?
No if you cook the breasts for a maximum of 5 hours.
If you want to make sure you have moist chicken, you could substitute chicken thighs and cook them for a maximum of 6 hours.
But the liquid from the Rotel also adds moisture to the dish to keep the chicken happy so you really shouldn’t have to worry about it.
