Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 lbs boneless skinless chicken breasts
  • 1 can (10.5 oz) cream of chicken soup
  • 1 can (10.5 oz) cream of mushroom soup
  • 1 can (10 oz) Rotel (diced tomatoes with green chilies), undrained
  • 1/2 cup chicken broth
  • 1/2 tsp garlic powder
  • 1/2 tsp onion powder
  • 1/2 tsp salt
  • 1/2 tsp black pepper
  • 8 oz block of cream cheese, softened
  • 2 cups shredded cheddar cheese, divided
  • 12 oz spaghetti noodles, cooked and drained
  • Fresh parsley, chopped (optional, for garnish)

Instructions

Place chicken breasts in the bottom of a greased Crockpot.

In a mixing bowl, combine cream of chicken soup, cream of mushroom soup, Rotel, chicken broth, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and pepper. Mix well, then pour over the chicken.

Cover and cook on low for 6-7 hours or on high for 3-4 hours, until the chicken is cooked through and tender.

Remove the chicken and shred it using two forks. Return the shredded chicken to the Crockpot.

Add the softened cream cheese and 1 1/2 cups of shredded cheddar cheese. Stir until melted and well combined.

Add the cooked spaghetti noodles to the Crockpot and toss to coat evenly in the cheesy mixture.

Sprinkle the remaining 1/2 cup of cheddar cheese on top. Cover and cook on low for another 15-20 minutes until cheese is melted.

Garnish with chopped parsley if desired before serving.

 

Notes

  • Customizations: Feel free to make this dish your own by adding extra veggies, adjusting the seasonings, or swapping out the pasta. It’s a versatile recipe that allows you to experiment with flavors and ingredients.

  • Storage: Leftovers can be stored in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 4 days or frozen for 2-3 months. Reheat using the stove, microwave, or Crockpot for a quick and easy meal.

  • Cheese Tip: Shred your own cheese to ensure a smoother, creamier sauce. Pre-shredded cheese may not melt as evenly, which can affect the texture.

  • Chicken Tips: If you prefer juicy, flavorful chicken, avoid overcooking it. Shredding the chicken after cooking helps distribute the flavors and creates a tender texture.

  • Meal Prep: This recipe is great for meal prep, so consider making a double batch and freezing half for future meals.
