If you love creamy pasta and a new slow cooker recipe, this crockpot chicken spaghetti is a unique dinner recipe with comforting flavor. Simmer the chicken in a creamy sauce all day, then add in the cooked pasta before serving.
My family loves it as much as our creamy ranch chicken and crockpot chicken tacos. And check out our other slow cooker chicken recipes.
Ingredients Needed
- Chicken Breasts: Boneless skinless chicken breasts are perfect for this recipe since they are lean and won’t add more liquid. Use chicken thighs if you prefer, but the sauce may be runnier.
- Diced Tomatoes: I prefer petite diced tomatoes.
- Cream of Chicken Soup: Makes the spaghetti extra creamy! Cream of mushroom soup works too.
- Cream Cheese: Full-fat cream cheese gives the best creamy texture.
- Traditional spaghetti Noodles: You’ll cook the spaghetti first, then add the cooked spaghetti to the pasta dish.

Notes
- Place any chicken spaghetti leftovers in an airtight container and place in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. You can also freeze the pasta. Place it in a freezer-safe container or freezer bag and it will keep for up to 6 weeks. Reheat in the microwave.
- Give it a Mexican flair by using a can of Rotel tomatoes instead of plain diced tomatoes. You could also add a jalapeño pepper for a hint of heat.
