I love to make easy dinners like this creamy chicken spaghetti in the Crock Pot. It’s one of our family’s favorite recipes and a very popular dish. Not only does this simple recipe make a ton for second servings, but we usually have extra for leftovers as well.

This chicken spaghetti recipe is one of my favorite comfort chicken pasta recipes to make. It’s made with only a hand full of ingredients and is absolutely amazing. It’s an easy dump and go recipe that doesn’t take a lot of time to put together. 

What Ingredients Do I Need for Rotel Chicken Spaghetti

This recipe does not use cream of mushroom soup and uses just one small can of cream of chicken soup. It uses good ole cream cheese, 1 package Velveeta cheese, and a little Rotel to flavor things up. If you can’t find Rotel, use a can of diced tomatoes and green chilies. 

You can also use cheddar cheese, but I find Velveeta cheese to be much creamier and with more flavor.

In fact, I like to batch cook boneless skinless chicken breasts and make this slow cooker chicken spaghetti with leftover shredded chicken. Using leftover shredded chicken allows this comfort food recipe to come together quickly. 

You can also make life super easy and use a store-bought Rotisserie chicken or even cooked boneless chicken thighs.

I will share with you two ways to make this yummy crockpot chicken spaghetti recipe. Whichever one you choose, it’s the perfect cheesy pasta recipe to throw together in a last-minute effort to get dinner on the table. Perfect for busy weeknights!

How to Make Crock Pot Chicken Spaghetti

There are two ways you can make this cheesy Rotel chicken spaghetti in the slow cooker. One is to use leftover shredded chicken and the other is to use fresh chicken breasts cut into bite-size pieces. I have done both and they are both super simple and easy to do. 

You can also skip down to the end of this post for the full printable recipe card where we will share with you both ways to make this easy recipe for cheesy chicken spaghetti. 

How to Make Chicken Spaghetti in the Crock Pot with Rotel

We love to make our chicken spaghetti with a can of Rotel. It gives the recipe a little extra flavor and our family devours it. Couple the Rotel with Velveeta and cream cheese and you have a mouthwatering complete meal the whole family enjoys. It’s the perfect weeknight dinner for comfort food with little prep time.

If you are making chicken spaghetti using leftover chicken, this recipe will come together fast. I always save leftover chicken for recipes just like this pasta dish. 

  1. Prepare the slow cooker with nonstick cooking spray to prevent sticking.
  2. Add the shredded or cubed chicken, 10 ounce Rotel tomatoes and green chiles, 4 tbsp butter, cream cheese cubed, cream of chicken soup, cooked al dente pasta noodles (cook pasta per package directions), cubed Velveeta cheese, and chicken broth to the Crock Pot. 
  3. Cook on low for 2 hours until cheese is fully melted and serve when ready. 
  4. Add a little extra flavor and top it with green onion tops before serving.

To cook this crockpot recipe with raw chicken, I do things a little differently. 

  1. Prepare the Crock Pot with cooking spray. Line the bottom of the slow cooker with chicken breasts. Add chicken broth. Cover and cook on high for 2 ½ hours. 
  2. Use two forks to shred the chicken. Add the cream cheese, butter, Velveeta cheese, Rotel tomatoes with green chilis, and cream of chicken soup. Cook on high for an additional hour, or on low for an additional cook time of 2 hours to allow the cheese to melt. Add the cooked spaghetti noodles before serving.

What Sides to Serve with Chicken Spaghetti

This cheesy chicken spaghetti is so delicious and filling you may choose to make it without any sides. It’s definitely a hearty meal all on its own and the taste is truly amazing. Here are a couple of my preferred side dishes to make with this recipe:

  • Garlic Bread
  • Italian Salad
