Ingredients
- 1 lb boneless, skinless chicken breasts (or thighs)
- 1 can (10.5 oz) cream of chicken soup
- 1 can (10.5 oz) cream of mushroom soup
- ½ cup chicken broth (or water)
- 1 packet (1 oz) ranch seasoning mix
- ½ tsp garlic powder
- ¼ tsp onion powder
- ½ tsp Italian seasoning
- ½ tsp salt
- ¼ tsp black pepper
- ½ cup sour cream
- 1 ½ cups shredded cheddar cheese
- 1 lb spaghetti (cooked per package instructions)
- ½ cup grated Parmesan cheese (optional for topping)
Instructions
- Prepare the Chicken – Place chicken breasts (or thighs) in the slow cooker.
- Make the Sauce – In a bowl, mix cream of chicken soup, cream of mushroom soup, chicken broth, ranch seasoning, garlic powder, onion powder, Italian seasoning, salt, and pepper. Stir until smooth.
- Slow Cook – Pour the sauce over the chicken. Cover and cook:
- On low: 6-7 hours
- On high: 3-4 hours, until chicken is fully cooked and tender.
- Shred the Chicken – Remove chicken from the crockpot, shred with two forks, then return it to the sauce and mix well.
- Add Creaminess & Cheese – Stir in sour cream and shredded cheddar cheese until smooth. Let cook on low for 10-15 minutes to melt the cheese.
- Cook the Spaghetti – While the sauce is finishing, cook spaghetti according to package instructions. Drain.
- Combine & Serve – Stir the cooked spaghetti into the crockpot. If the sauce is too thick, add more chicken broth to loosen. Serve immediately, garnished with Parmesan cheese.
Notes
- For Extra Flavor – Add red pepper flakes for spice or swap cheddar for mozzarella.
- Keep Spaghetti Firm – Cook pasta separately and add just before serving.
- Gluten-Free Option – Use gluten-free spaghetti and ensure soups are gluten-free.
