• 10 ounces Rotel diced tomatoes with chilies (undrained)
• 4 ounces cream cheese, cubed
• 2 tablespoons Italian seasoning
• 1.5 pounds boneless, skinless chicken breasts
• 12 ounces spaghetti
• 2 cups shredded mozzarella and cheddar cheese blend
Instructions:
1. Prepare the Crock Pot:
• Spray the interior of the Crock Pot with non-stick cooking spray to prevent sticking.
2. Create the Soup Base:
• Pour the cream of chicken soup and cream of mushroom soup into the Crock Pot.
• Add the Rotel diced tomatoes (undrained), cubed cream cheese, and Italian seasoning to the soup mixture. Stir to combine all the ingredients evenly.
3. Add the Chicken:
• Place the boneless, skinless chicken breasts into the Crock Pot, ensuring they are submerged in the soup mixture for even cooking.
4. Cook:
• Secure the lid and set the Crock Pot to cook on LOW for four hours.
5. Shred the Chicken:
• After four hours, remove the chicken breasts and transfer them to a cutting board. Use two forks to shred the chicken into bite-sized pieces.
6. Cook the Spaghetti:
• While the chicken is being shredded, cook the spaghetti according to the package instructions until al dente. Drain and set aside.
7. Combine Everything:
• Return the shredded chicken to the Crock Pot. Add the cooked spaghetti to the Crock Pot and stir to ensure the pasta is well coated in the creamy sauce.
8. Add Cheese:
• Sprinkle the shredded mozzarella and cheddar cheese blend over the spaghetti mixture. Stir to incorporate the cheese throughout.
9. Final Cooking Phase:
• Replace the lid and continue cooking on LOW for an additional 30 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and the flavors are fully combined.
10. Serve:
• Serve the Creamy Crockpot Chicken Spaghetti while hot. Enjoy the hearty, cheesy, and creamy goodness!
Tips:
• Adjusting Spice Level: If you prefer a milder dish, use a can of diced tomatoes without chilies instead of Rotel.
• Make It Your Own: Add sautéed mushrooms or spinach for an extra layer of flavor and nutrition.
• Pasta Texture: For firmer pasta, add the cooked spaghetti closer to the end of the main cooking time.
Storage Options:
• Refrigerator: Store leftovers in an airtight container for up to 3 days. Reheat in the microwave or on the stovetop over low heat.
• Freezer: Freeze portions in a freezer-safe container for up to 2 months. Thaw overnight in the refrigerator and reheat before serving.
