FAQ's

Can you put raw noodles in the crock pot?

Techincally you can, however for this recipe I recommend that you cook them separately so that they don't overcook in the crock pot.

Is it OK to put raw chicken in slow cooker?

Yes, raw chicken is completely safe to cook in the slow cooker. Plus, it turns out so tender.

Do you need to brown the chicken before slow cooking?

No, there is no need to sear or brown the chicken before you add it to the slow cooker.

Things to know

  • I recommend that you spray the slow cooker well with nonstick cooking spray so that your crock is easy to clean. You could also use a slow cooker liner instead if you prefer.
  • Also, make sure you don't forget to drain the spaghetti after cooking it. Otherwise, your dish will end up watery and not nearly as creamy.
  • I prefer to cut the cream cheese up into chunks so that it melts faster in the crock pot.
  • Instead of using two forks for the shredded chicken, you could use a hand mixer to make it easier. Or, pull the chicken breasts out, and use a knife on a cutting board before returning the chicken to the slow cooker.
  • Anytime you're making pasta don't overcook it. Cook according to the package directions to al dente.

Variations

  • You could also add different types of cheeses into the mix!
  • Be sure to adjust the salt and pepper amounts to your own taste preferences before serving.
  • Try using a different type of pasta such as elbow macaroni, shell pasta, or even penne.
  • You can also use other cuts of chicken such as thighs or chicken tenders for this recipe.
  • Cream of mushroom soup can be used in place of cream of chicken soup for this crockpot recipe.

Storage

Refrigerate - Store in an airtight container in the refrigerator for 3 days.

Freezer - Place it into a freezer-safe container or freezer-bag and freeze for up to 3 months.

Reheating - Reheat on the stovetop or microwave until warm. Add additional milk to make it creamy again if it dries out in the fridge.
