Ingredients

Scale

Sauces and Seasonings

  • 10.5 ounce can cream of chicken soup
  • 10.5 ounce can cream of celery soup (can substitute with cream of chicken or cream of mushroom soup)
  • 14.5 ounce can diced tomatoes (can use Rotel or salsa as alternatives)
  • 4 ounces (1/2 block) cream cheese, cubed
  • 1 Tablespoon garlic powder
  • 1 teaspoon oregano
  • Salt and pepper, to taste

Proteins

  • 2 boneless, skinless chicken breasts (or chicken thighs)

Pasta and Cheese

  • 12 ounces spaghetti (about 3/4 of a 16 ounce box)
  • 2 cups shredded mozzarella cheese

Instructions

  1. Combine sauces and seasonings: Pour the cream of chicken soup, cream of celery soup, diced tomatoes, and cubed cream cheese into a 6-quart crock pot. Add garlic powder and oregano, then stir to fully combine the ingredients.
  2. Add chicken: Place the boneless, skinless chicken breasts into the slow cooker, fully submerged in the sauce mixture.
  3. Slow cook the chicken: Cover the crock pot and cook on low heat for 4 to 6 hours, or until the chicken is perfectly tender and easily shreds with a fork.
  4. Shred the chicken: Remove the chicken breasts from the slow cooker and shred them using two forks until you have bite-sized pieces.
  5. Cook the spaghetti: While the chicken cooks, boil the spaghetti in salted water according to package directions until al dente. Drain well.
  6. Mix together: Return the shredded chicken, cooked spaghetti, and shredded mozzarella cheese to the crock pot with the sauce. Stir everything together thoroughly.
  7. Melt the cheese: Cover the crock pot again and allow the cheese to melt and the flavors to meld for about 5 minutes.
  8. Final seasoning: Taste the dish and adjust seasoning with additional salt, pepper, garlic powder, or oregano as needed. Serve warm and enjoy.

Notes

  • For variation, substitute cream of celery soup with cream of mushroom or cream of chicken soup for different flavor profiles.
  • Use diced tomatoes with green chilies like Rotel if you prefer a bit of a spicy kick.
  • Chicken thighs can be used instead of breasts for a juicier result.
  • Make sure to cook the pasta separately to avoid it becoming soggy in the slow cooker.
  • Leftovers keep well refrigerated for 3 to 4 days and can be reheated gently in the microwave or on the stovetop.
  • Prep Time: 10 minutes
