Ingredients

1 ½ pounds chicken breast boneless, skinless
1 teaspoon salt
¼ teaspoon black pepper
1 teaspoon Italian seasoning
1 teaspoon onion powder
1 teaspoon paprika
2 teaspoons garlic minced
1 10-ounce can Rotel tomatoes
½ cup chicken stock
8 ounces cream cheese
1 cup cheddar cheese shredded, I used sharp Cheddar
16 ounces spaghetti
1 pinch red pepper flakes optional

Instructions

Place the chicken breasts in a single layer at the bottom of the Crockpot. Sprinkle the chicken breasts with salt, pepper, Italian seasoning, onion powder, paprika and minced garlic.
Pour the can of Rotel tomatoes over the chicken breasts and add the chicken broth.
Cook the chicken on low for 4-6 hours until fully cooked through. (*see notes)
Once the chicken is fully cooked, shred it using two forks. Add the cream cheese and Cheddar cheese to the Crockpot and stir until well combined.
Cover the Crockpot with the lid, and allow the sauce to continue heating through as you make the pasta.
Cook the spaghetti al dente according to the package instructions.
Add the cooked and drained spaghetti to the crock pot and stir well to combine.
Season to taste with salt, pepper, and optionally a pinch of red pepper flakes.

Notes

SLOW COOKER TIMES

Different slow cooker models may distribute the heat differently and cook the chicken a little faster or slower, so you will have to check on it. Your chicken breasts may take as little as 3-4 hours to cook through, maybe even less if they are small. Check the internal temperature (165º Fahrenheit for chicken) with a meat thermometer. Once the chicken has cooked through you can proceed with the recipe as described above.
