Want to try something different for dinner? Try this Slow Cooker Creamy Chicken Spaghetti, you will love it!

Hi all! I am really excited to share this recipe with you all today. I found this recipe in a facebook group called Crock Pot Heaven. A member named Kierstyn shared her creation for chicken spaghetti. Her recipe for chicken spaghetti is made in a way I’ve never seen, it has cream of chicken soup and cream cheese to make it creamy.

Kierstyn’s recipe and photos enticed me so much that I asked her if I could share the recipe here on the blog. Thank you Kierstyn for letting me share this recipe! Here is her original chicken spaghetti recipe , and you can find how I made it below, I tried not to change much.

One thing I love about her recipe is she uses cut up the chicken instead of whole chicken breasts. That means this meal doesn’t has shredded chicken like most slow cooker recipes. I only cooked this for 6 hours on low, so the chicken kept its shape. It will end up shredding if you cook this longer than 6 hours.

After the sauce has finished cooking, cooked spaghetti is stirred in. Don’t be tempted to add uncooked noodles to the sauce, they will end up chalky and mushy!

More spaghetti-style recipes to make in the slow cooker:

Author: Sarah Olson

Equipment Needed:

  • Slow Cooker- 6 quart or larger

Ingredients:

  • 48 oz. spaghetti sauce (I used 2 jars of Classico Tomato and Basil)
  • 21 oz. cream of chicken soup (2 10.5 oz. cans) do not add water
  • 2 tsp. dried oregano
  • 2 tsp. dried basil
  • 1/2 tsp. garlic powder
  • 8 oz. cream cheese, cubed
  • 2 lbs. chicken breast, diced
  • 1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
  • 1 lb. spaghetti (cooked according to package directions on stove-top)
US Customary – Metric

Instructions:

  • Add the spaghetti sauce, cream of chicken soup, oregano, basil, garlic powder, cream cheese, and chicken. Stir. The cream cheese will still be in cubes, that is fine. 
  • Cover and cook on LOW for 6 hours without opening the lid during the cooking time.
  • Cook the pasta according to the package directions. Drain well. Add to the sauce and stir. Add the mozzarella cheese on top. Add the lid back on and let the cheese melt, this will only take a few minutes. Serve and enjoy!
    Note- Kierstyn’s original recipe uses 16 ounces cream cheese and has mozzarella added in the beginning while the sauce cooks. You can make it either way, it will be great!

      What can I use instead?

      I made this today. I used wheat pasta and roasted garlic Parmesan prego sauce and fat free cream cheese, boneless and skinless chicken thighs for flavor and fat free mozzarella on top. Cooked on high for 3 1/2 -4 hours. Came out delicious

      Hello! I cooked this dish about 2 days ago and it turned out wonderful! I didn’t really care for the chicken though. It was a bit dry for me and the texture and taste was a bit similar to the beef I use when I cook stew. I thought about using thigh meat instead of breast to see How the texture would be. I also wanted to try different meats altogether. I though about beef, but I don’t want a stew tasting spaghetti. I saw in the comments someone using Italian sausage, that may be what I try. I also want to put some mushrooms in but they cook very quickly and I’m not sure how they would fair being cooked for 6 hours. What do you think? Also, their is a Pizza restaurant call Hidaways Pizza. They sell this lasagna for about $12 a serving, and i kid you not, this recipe tastes almost exactly like it! You cracked the code! Thank you!

      I saved this recipe to my cookbook I make it quite often for my family. I think it’s great we also used Italian sausages instead of chicken before which was good!

        I don’t see why not. For reheating for any recipe I made sure to thaw in the fridge for 24 hours before needing. Cook in the microwave or on the stove-top in a pan. I hope that helps.

      I love this recipe! It is delicious and makes a ton of food. The leftovers are just as tasty. I like it with the spaghetti noodles and my husband prefers penne pasta It worked great with both options.

        Hello,

        How many cups of Penne Pasta would you use?

        Is this uncooked or cooked?

        Thanks!

      fairly blah. i will still try again and use a sausage or some other meat. I added quite a bit of red pepper. great that it was a crockpot recipe… but chicken needs something more. my husband and I eat healthy and if I am gonna put all that fat and carbs in a meal, i need a bit more.

            It only gets more tender with time, especially with lots of sauce 🙂

      Don’t be afraid to add more seasoning & other items (like vegies) to make this better. I did not add chix soup (cuz yuck), added more oregano, added thyme & savory, fresh hulled peas, sliced zucchini, and SUGAR to cut the bitter salty jarred sauces. Then it was better. The original is a bit bland. Oh, I precooked the chix (actually smoked over a conventional hardwood charcoal grill). Thanks for the basis for a greater recipe.

        You changed the whole recipe. Ha it is bland and bitter until you add the chicken soup. Just thought it was interesting you removed ingredients and added more veggies. I don’t like veggies in my spaghetti..

            I HATE when people do that! If you’re going to comment, comment on the recipe that was posted.. not your gross-sounding spaghetti with veggies. I also hate when people rate it but didn’t make it.

        Yes, her original recipe I was on high, she did say you need to stir once or twice, it may stick a bit.
