Crockpot Chicken Spaghetti
This easy Crockpot Chicken Spaghetti is made with Velveeta, Rotel, rotisserie chicken, and tender spaghetti noodles in a creamy, cheesy sauce. It’s an easy slow cooker dinner with minimal prep and lots of options for customizing.
Equipment
Ingredients
- 16 oz Velveeta cheese cubed
- 3 cups cooked shredded rotisserie chicken
- 10.5 oz canned cream of chicken soup
- 20 oz Rotel diced tomatoes and green chilies (undrained)
- 1 green bell pepper (chopped)
- 1 onion (chopped)
- 2 cups chicken broth
- 16 oz spaghetti
Instructions
- Add everything except the spaghetti to the Crock Pot. Add the Velveeta, chicken, soup, Rotel, bell pepper, onion, and broth. Stir to combine.
- Cook on low. Cover and cook for 3 to 4 hours, stirring occasionally if you're nearby. The Velveeta should be fully melted and the sauce creamy and well combined.
- Cook the spaghetti. About 20 to 30 minutes before serving, cook the spaghetti according to the package directions until al dente. Drain well.
- Add the spaghetti. Stir the cooked spaghetti into the Crock Pot about 10 minutes before serving.
- Heat through and serve. Gently toss until the noodles are evenly coated in the cheesy chicken sauce. Let everything warm together for a few minutes, then serve.
Notes
- Don’t drain the Rotel. The liquid adds flavor and keeps the sauce creamy.
- Keep the spaghetti al dente. It will soften a little more after you stir it into the sauce.
- Too thick? Add a splash of warm chicken broth until the sauce loosens up.
- Using raw chicken? Sub 1 pound thawed boneless, skinless chicken breasts or thighs. Cook on low for 6-8 hours, until the chicken reaches 165°F. Shred, return to the sauce, then add the spaghetti.
- No Velveeta? Use 16 ounces cream cheese, then stir in 1 cup shredded sharp cheddar near the end.
- Storage: Refrigerate leftovers for 3 to 4 days. Add a splash of broth when reheating if needed.
