How To Make Pioneer Woman Crock Pot Chicken Spaghetti

1. Combine and Cook Chicken: Spray a large crockpot with cooking spray. Add the raw chicken breasts, all the seasonings (salt, pepper, onion powder, parsley, paprika), minced garlic, cream of chicken soup, and the undrained can of Rotel. Stir everything together. Cover and cook on low for 4-6 hours.
2. Shred Chicken and Add Dairy: Once the chicken is cooked through and tender, remove it from the crockpot. Use two forks to shred the chicken, then return it to the slow cooker. Stir in the sour cream and the shredded cheese until everything is melted and combined.
3. Cook and Add Pasta: While the cheese is melting, cook the spaghetti according to the package directions. Drain the cooked spaghetti well and add it to the slow cooker. Stir everything together until the pasta is fully coated in the creamy sauce. Serve immediately.

Recipe Tips

• How to get the creamiest sauce? The combination of cream of chicken soup, sour cream, and melted cheese creates an ultra-creamy sauce. For the best melt, use freshly shredded cheese from a block, as pre-shredded cheeses can contain anti-caking agents.
• Can I use a different cheese? Yes! While Colby Jack is a great choice, a sharp cheddar, Monterey Jack, or even a pepper jack for a little extra kick would be delicious.
• How to adjust the spice level? The heat in this dish comes from the can of Rotel. You can easily control the spice level by choosing a “mild,” “original,” or “hot” version of the diced tomatoes and green chiles.
• Can I add vegetables? Absolutely. To add more vegetables, you can stir in a cup of sautéed mushrooms or diced bell peppers along with the cheese and sour cream.

What To Serve With Crock Pot Chicken Spaghetti

This is a hearty, all-in-one meal, but it also pairs nicely with:

• Warm garlic bread
• A simple green salad with a light vinaigrette
• Steamed broccoli or green beans

How To Store Crock Pot Chicken Spaghetti

• Refrigerate: Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. The pasta will continue to absorb the sauce, so the dish will be thicker when reheated.
• Reheating: Reheat individual portions in the microwave or the whole casserole in a 350°F oven until warmed through. You may want to add a splash of milk or chicken broth to loosen the sauce.
• Freeze: Freezing is not ideal for this recipe, as the cream-based sauce can separate and the pasta can become mushy upon thawing.
