Comfort food at its finest! This Slow Cooker Chicken Tetrazzini is a family favorite!

As you may know, I mostly post dinner recipes on the blog. Having dinner together with my family is most important to me. We try as much as possible to eat dinner at the table, so finding a meal we all love makes dinner time run smoother (remember I have a very picky 6-year old).

This slow cooker chicken Tetrazzini starts out with Foster Farms Simply Raised fresh chicken breast fillets. I try to find this brand for my recipes, my local Fred Meyer stocks it regularly. I love that there is never any antibiotics used and that it is always fresh and locally grown. 

chicken breasts, mushrooms, onion, broth and seasonings.

I start by adding the chicken, seasonings, mushrooms, and onions to the slow cooker. I let that cook all day. When I am ready to serve dinner,  I add cream cheese, shred the chicken then stir in a half-pound of cooked spaghetti. Add a bit of mozzarella and cover the slow cooker until the cheese melts. This meal is great with 1/3 less fat cream cheese and reduced-fat mozzarella cheese, make it to accommodate your family’s diet!.

What I love about this meal is that it’s great for spaghetti night, but a fresher spin on pasta.

      Just tried this last night and it turned out great. Took your reasoning that my slow cooker runs hot and altered accordingly. Thanks.

      This recipe is not a dump and go, but it’s still pretty darn simple and worth the effort. Especially when the entire family ate it, even the 2 year old. Thanks for sharing! Printing for my family recipe binder.

      I added garlic and Mongolian hot sauce, and you can’t go wrong with more cheese!
