Ingredients Needed

Chicken Breasts: Boneless skinless chicken breasts are perfect for this recipe since they are lean and won’t add more liquid. Use chicken thighs if you prefer, but the sauce may be runnier.
Diced Tomatoes: I prefer petite diced tomatoes.
Cream of Chicken Soup: Makes the spaghetti extra creamy! Cream of mushroom soup works too.
Cream Cheese: Full-fat cream cheese gives the best creamy texture.
Spaghetti Noodles: You’ll cook the spaghetti first, then add the cooked spaghetti to the pasta dish.

How to Make Slow Cooker Chicken Spaghetti

Place the chicken breasts in the slow cooker. Add the can of diced tomatoes and cream of chicken soup, and the spices spreading it evenly over the chicken.
Cover the slow cooker and cook on low for 6 hours or high for 4 hours.

After the cook time, use two forks to shred the chicken breasts.

Add the shredded chicken back with the diced cream cheese into the slow cooker and stir to combine. The heat will melt the cream cheese, creating a creamy sauce.

In the last 20 minutes of cooking, bring a large pot of salted water to a boil and cook the spaghetti according to package instructions. Once done, drain and add the spaghetti to the slow cooker. Stir until everything is well combined.

Once the spaghetti has absorbed the sauce, garnish with fresh parsley
