Creamy Crockpot Chicken Spaghetti Recipe
Step 3: Shred the chicken
- Remove the chicken from the Crockpot and place it on a cutting board.
- Use two forks to shred the chicken into bite-sized pieces.
- Return the shredded chicken to the Crockpot and stir it back into the creamy sauce.
Step 4: Cook the spaghetti
- About 30 minutes before serving, cook the spaghetti according to the package instructions until al dente.
- Drain the spaghetti and set aside.
Step 5: Combine pasta and sauce
- Add the cooked spaghetti to the Crockpot.
- Stir well to evenly coat the pasta with the creamy chicken sauce.
Step 6: Melt the cheese
- Sprinkle the shredded cheddar cheese evenly over the top of the spaghetti mixture.
- Cover the Crockpot and cook on low heat for an additional 10–15 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and gooey.
Step 7: Serve and garnish
- Serve the creamy chicken spaghetti warm, garnished with your choice of toppings:
- Chopped parsley or cilantro for freshness
- Crushed red pepper flakes for spice
- Extra shredded cheese for extra indulgence
Tips for Success
- Boost flavor: Sauté diced onions and bell peppers in a skillet until soft, then add them to the Crockpot at the beginning for added depth of flavor.
- Customize pasta: Use whole-grain or gluten-free pasta if preferred.
- Meal prep friendly: Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Reheat individual portions in the microwave with a splash of milk or chicken broth to restore creaminess.
- Freeze ahead: This dish freezes well! Portion into freezer-safe containers and store for up to 3 months. Thaw overnight in the fridge before reheating.
