Slow Cooker Amish Cheesy Chicken Spaghetti
Ingredients:
- 4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts
- 1 can (10.5 oz) cream of chicken soup
- 1 can (10.5 oz) cream of mushroom soup
- 1 (14.5 oz) can diced tomatoes (undrained)
- 1/2 cup chicken broth (or water)
- 1 packet (1 oz) ranch seasoning mix
- 8 oz uncooked spaghetti (broken into thirds)
- 2 cups shredded cheddar cheese
- 1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
- 1 tablespoon Italian seasoning (optional)
- Salt and pepper to taste
- Fresh chopped parsley (optional for garnish)
Instructions:
-
Prepare the chicken: Season the chicken breasts with a little salt and pepper. Place them in the bottom of the slow cooker.
-
Make the sauce: In a separate bowl, combine the cream of chicken soup, cream of mushroom soup, diced tomatoes (with juices), chicken broth, and ranch seasoning mix. Stir well to combine. Pour this mixture over the chicken in the slow cooker.
-
Cook the chicken: Cover and cook on low for 5-6 hours or on high for 2-3 hours, until the chicken is fully cooked and tender. The chicken should easily shred with a fork.
-
Shred the chicken: Once the chicken is cooked, remove it from the slow cooker and shred it using two forks. Return the shredded chicken to the slow cooker and stir it into the sauce.
-
Add the pasta: Break the uncooked spaghetti into thirds and add it to the slow cooker. Stir the pasta into the sauce and chicken mixture. Cover and cook on low for an additional 30-45 minutes, or until the pasta is tender and cooked through. (Make sure to stir halfway through to prevent sticking.)
-
Add the cheese: Once the pasta is cooked, sprinkle the shredded cheddar and mozzarella cheese on top of the spaghetti. Cover and let it cook for an additional 5-10 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and bubbly.
-
Serve: Garnish with fresh chopped parsley if desired. Serve this cheesy, comforting dish with a side salad or garlic bread.
