  • 1 cup chicken broth
  • 8 oz cream cheese
  • 2 cups shredded cheddar cheese
  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1 teaspoon onion powder
  • 1 teaspoon paprika
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
  • 12 oz spaghetti broken in half
  • 2 tablespoons butter optional, for extra richness

Method
 

  1. Place chicken breasts in the crockpot.
  2. Add cream of chicken soup, Rotel, cream cheese, butter, broth, and seasonings.
  3. Cover and cook on LOW for 6 hours or HIGH for 3 hours.
  4. Shred the cooked chicken directly in the crockpot and stir well.
  5. Break spaghetti in half and add it to the crockpot.
  6. Stir noodles into the sauce to coat evenly.
  7. Cover and cook for 15–25 minutes, stirring occasionally, until pasta is tender.
  8. Add shredded cheddar cheese and stir until melted and creamy.
  9. Adjust seasoning and consistency with extra broth if needed.
  10. Let rest 5 minutes before serving to thicken.

Notes

• For a spicier version, use spicy Rotel or add jalapeños.
• Add veggies like spinach, mushrooms, or bell peppers.
• Substitute chicken with turkey or leftover rotisserie chicken.
• Use penne, rotini, or linguine instead of spaghetti.
• If sauce becomes too thick, add extra broth or a splash of milk.
• For richer flavor, use full-fat cream cheese and extra cheddar.
