Creamy Crockpot Chicken Spaghetti Recipe

Step 3: Shred the chicken

  1. Remove the chicken from the Crockpot and place it on a cutting board.
  2. Use two forks to shred the chicken into bite-sized pieces.
  3. Return the shredded chicken to the Crockpot and stir it back into the creamy sauce.

Step 4: Cook the spaghetti

  1. About 30 minutes before serving, cook the spaghetti according to the package instructions until al dente.
  2. Drain the spaghetti and set aside.

Step 5: Combine pasta and sauce

  1. Add the cooked spaghetti to the Crockpot.
  2. Stir well to evenly coat the pasta with the creamy chicken sauce.

Step 6: Melt the cheese

  1. Sprinkle the shredded cheddar cheese evenly over the top of the spaghetti mixture.
  2. 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

  1. 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.
