Instructions
Preparation
Step 1: Prepare the Slow Cooker
Place the chicken breasts in the slow cooker and season with garlic powder, onion powder, smoked paprika, salt, and black pepper.
Step 2: Add the Sauce Ingredients
Pour in the cream of chicken soup, cream of mushroom soup, diced tomatoes with green chilies, and chicken broth. Stir gently to combine.
Step 3: Cook the Chicken
Cover and cook on low for 6 hours or high for 3-4 hours, until the chicken is tender and easily shreddable.
Step 4: Shred the Chicken
Remove the cooked chicken from the crockpot, shred it with two forks, and return it to the slow cooker.
Step 5: Cook the Pasta
Add the broken spaghetti to the slow cooker, stirring well. Cover and cook on low for 20-30 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the pasta is fully cooked.
Step 6: Add Cheese and Creamy Ingredients
Stir in the shredded cheddar cheese, cream cheese, and sour cream until melted and smooth.
Step 7: Serve and Garnish
Serve hot, garnished with fresh parsley and an extra sprinkle of cheese if desired.
Notes
- Pasta Texture: Stir occasionally to prevent the pasta from sticking together.
- Sauce Consistency: Add extra chicken broth if the sauce is too thick.
- Cheese Choices: Swap cheddar with mozzarella, Monterey Jack, or a Mexican cheese blend.
- Storage Tip: Store leftovers in an airtight container for up to 3 days in the refrigerator.
