Ingredients
- 2 boneless, skinless chicken breasts
- 1 can cream of chicken soup
- 1 package (8 oz) cream cheese
- 1 cup chicken broth
- 8 oz spaghetti
- 2 cups shredded cheese (cheddar or mozzarella)
- Salt and pepper to taste
- Chopped green onions or parsley (optional)
Instructions
- Prepare the chicken by placing the breasts in the bottom of the slow cooker, laying them flat for even cooking.
- Mix the sauce by combining the cream of chicken soup, cream cheese, and chicken broth in a bowl. Mix until smooth.
- Combine the creamy mixture with the chicken in the slow cooker, ensuring the chicken is coated with sauce.
- Set the slow cooker to low for 6-8 hours or high for 3-4 hours, until the chicken is cooked through.
- Cook the spaghetti about 30 minutes before serving according to package instructions; drain and set aside.
- Shred the chicken directly in the slow cooker using two forks, mixing it well with the sauce.
- Add the cooked spaghetti and shredded cheese, stirring until everything is well combined.
- Season with salt and pepper to taste. Cook for an additional 10-15 minutes on low to heat through and melt the cheese.
- Garnish with chopped green onions or parsley if desired, and serve warm.
Notes
Use low-sodium cream of chicken soup for a healthier option. Chicken thighs can be used for added flavor, with slight adjustments to cooking time.
