Ingredients

Scale

For the chicken and sauce:
2 boneless, skinless chicken breasts
1 can (10.5 oz) cream of chicken soup
1 can (10 oz) Rotel (diced tomatoes with green chilies), undrained
1 block (8 oz) cream cheese, cubed
1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
1 teaspoon garlic powder
1 teaspoon onion powder
Salt and pepper to taste

For the pasta:
12 oz spaghetti
Water for boiling
Salt for pasta water

Instructions

Place the chicken breasts in the crockpot and season with garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and pepper. Pour the cream of chicken soup and Rotel over the top.

Add the cubed cream cheese on top of the mixture. Cover and cook on low for 6 hours or on high for 3-4 hours, until the chicken is fully cooked and tender.

Once the chicken is cooked, shred it directly in the crockpot using two forks. Stir well to combine with the melted cream cheese and tomatoes.

Add the shredded cheddar and mozzarella cheese to the mixture and stir until the cheeses are fully melted and the sauce is creamy.

While the cheese melts, bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Add the spaghetti and cook according to package instructions until al dente. Drain and set aside.

Add the cooked spaghetti to the crockpot and mix everything together until the pasta is evenly coated with the creamy, cheesy sauce.

Let it sit for 5-10 minutes with the lid on to absorb flavors before serving hot.

Notes

For extra depth of flavor, add a pinch of smoked paprika or a handful of cooked, crumbled bacon just before serving. If you prefer a spicier version, use hot Rotel or add chopped jalapeños. This recipe can also be made ahead and reheated, though you may need to add a splash of milk to loosen the sauce.
