Slow Cooker Rotel Chicken Spaghetti Recipe
This cheesy chicken spaghetti is one of those creamy pasta dishes you'll make over and over again. It's that good!
This is a great dinner idea for busy weeknights. Everything but the pasta cooks in the slow cooker while you are away. When you get home all you have to do is cook the pasta and add it to the slow cooker and top with cheese.
Slow Cooker Chicken Spaghetti Ingredients
You'll need two chicken breasts (use 3 if you have small chicken breasts), two cans cream of chicken soup, Rotel Diced Tomatoes with Green Chilies (original or mild), chicken broth, small onion, Mexican blend cheese, and spaghetti.
You can use two cans of cream of chicken soup or one can of cream of chicken soup and one can of cream of mushroom soup. Either way tastes great.
How To Make Rotel Chicken Spaghetti In The Slow Cooker
Start by adding 1/4 cup chicken broth to the slow cooker. Then add chicken and diced onion. Salt and pepper chicken to taste.
Pour the Rotel, and Cream of Chicken Soup over chicken. Cook on LOW 7 to 8 hours or on HIGH 4 to 5 hours until chicken is done.
Shred chicken and add it back to the slow cooker. Stir in one cup of Mexican Blend cheese. Add the cooked spaghetti to slow cooker and mix well. Top with one cup Mexican Blend cheese. Cover and cook 15 minutes until cheese is melted.

Ok I was wondering can you add cream cheese to this while it cooked? I’m making it tomorrow morning and was just wondering if cream cheese can be added. I’m also adding a can or two of black beans for more added protein. I also use Banza spaghetti pasta for protein. It tastes just like regular pasta too!

Hi Jasmine! I have not tried adding cream cheese but I think you could add it toward the end after you shred the chicken. I would cube the cream cheese and stir it into the shredded chicken then cover and on High an additional 20 minutes or so until cream cheese melts. Then stir and serve over noodles. Let me know how it turns out.

So..I am a little late to the party! I altered it a bit..feeding only adults here. I used a can of condensed poblano soup and one of cream of chicken, one can of rotel, and 1 can of hatch diced green chilies..a little oregano and cumin. Cooked for 7 hrs on low, removed the chicken to shred..added shredded pepper jack cheese and colby jack cheese combo..added the chicken back..cooked until almost melted..then added a ‘light’ layer of cheese on top to serve. I must admit..for a morning question of ‘IDK’ what is for dinner..it turned out AMAZING! Ty for your inspiration!

Hi Tracie, I have not tried it with Velveeta cheese. I have only used Mexican blend cheese or cheddar cheese.

I came across this recipe awhile ago and just could never get myself to make it due to a poor experience I had with a different chicken spaghetti. Last night I finally did and I’m sad that I didn’t make it a long time ago. It was very good and super easy. Will definitely make again.
