Crockpot Chicken Spaghetti Recipe

*This post contains affiliate links*

IT IS TIME!  Crocktober is here!  If you've been following me on any of my social medias, you will know that I have been in full on crockpot mode. Why you ask?  That would be because October is all about simple and delicious crockpot meals!  I am deeming it CROCKTOBER! Full disclosure, it's no secret that I'm not usually a fan of food made in a crockpot, but I have strived to bring you #KitchenWifeApproved meals that are AMAZING!  First up, this mouthwatering Crockpot Chicken Spaghetti Recipe.

I'd never heard of Chicken Spaghetti before, but when I was looking for inspiration, I saw that The Pioneer Woman's NUMBER ONE pinned recipe was her Chicken Spaghetti.  So I decided to develop my version of this recipe for the crockpot!  I know you are going to love it so....

Let's Get Started!

Crockpot Chicken Spaghetti Recipe:
*Prep Time: 10 min *Cook Time: 4 hours *Difficulty: Easy *Servings 8-10

Ingredients:

The ingredients needed to make the Crockpot Chicken Spaghetti.

  • 2 Boneless Skinless Chicken Breasts
  • 1 lb Spaghetti, cooked
  • 1/2 lb Velveeta Cheese, cubed
  • 1 10 oz can of Cream of Chicken Soup
  • 1 10 oz can of Cream of Mushroom Soup
  • 1 can of Diced Tomatoes with Green Chilies
  • 1 packet of Taco Seasoning
  • 1 Green Pepper, diced
  • 1 Onion, diced


The green pepper and cheese cubed on a cutting board.  To begin you will need to prepare the Velveeta cheese and vegetables.

The condensed soups, canned tomatoes, and taco seasoning in a mixing bowl.

Next combine the cans of soup, diced tomatoes, and taco seasoning into a mixing bowl.

The sauce for the crockpot chicken spaghetti mixed together in a bowl.

Mix everything together.

A box of of slow cooker liners.

Something that I have recently discovered that has been game changer for me is the Reynolds Kitchens Slow Cooker Liners.  

I HIGHLY recommend them.  They make clean up a breeze!

Once you have lined your crockpot with the Reynolds liner, place the chicken on the bottom pour over the sauce mixture.

The bell peppers and diced onions on top of the chicken in the crockpot.

Sprinkle the diced green pepper and onion over everything.

The cubed velveeta cheese in the crockpot.

After that, add the cheese.

Mmmmm....cheese.

The crockpot on the counter.

Now place the lid on your crockpot, set the temperature to LOW, and cook for 4 hours.

The crockpot I am using here is the

Crock-Pot 6.5-Quart, Programmable Touchscreen Slow Cooker


It is America's Test Kitchen's number one pick, and I LOVE IT!!!

After four hours you will need to remove the chicken from the crockpot and give the sauce a nice stir.
This will help any bits of cheese fishing melting and give your  smooth sauce.

Now you can cook your spaghetti.
Simple follow the directions on the box.

This Crockpot Chicken Spaghetti Recipe is perfect for these cooler, autumn, nights we are transitioning into.  It is warm, hearty, comforting, everything you want in a crockpot meal.  The taste though, this is literally one of the best meals I have had in a long, long, time!  I served it with a nice, crisp, salad to help cut through the richness.  I know you are going to love this one, so get in the kitchen and give it a try TONIGHT!  And if you make this, or any of my other crockpot recipes this month, be sure to tag me and use the hashtag #CrocktoberwithTheKitchenWife !
