FAQ's

Things to know

• I recommend spraying the slow cooker well with nonstick cooking spray so 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 into chunks so 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.
• Green chilis would be an excellent addition to 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 milk to make it creamy if it dries out in the fridge.
