Slow Cooker Chicken Pasta
This Slow Cooker Chicken Pasta is one of my favorite easy crockpot dinners to make for my family when I need something simple, creamy, and filling. Tender chicken slow cooks in a flavorful sauce made with cream of chicken soup, Rotel, garlic, Italian seasoning, sour cream, and plenty of melted cheese before being tossed with pasta. It’s a creamy cheesy chicken pasta that requires very little prep and is perfect for busy weeknights when I don’t want to spend all evening in the kitchen. I love this easy slow cooker chicken pasta recipe because it uses simple ingredients I usually already have on hand, and my whole family can enjoy it. The Rotel adds just the right amount of flavor without making the dish overly spicy, while the sour cream and shredded cheese make the sauce extra creamy. If you’re looking for a family-friendly crockpot chicken recipe, an easy dump-and-go slow cooker dinner, or a comforting chicken pasta recipe for busy weeknights, this is such a good one to add to your dinner rotation.

2. Cover on LOW for 6-7 hours or HIGH for 4-5 hours, until the chicken is cooked through and shreds easily.
3. Remove the chicken from the crockpot, shred it, then return it to the sauce.
4. Stir in the sour cream and shredded cheese until the cheese is melted.
5. Meanwhile, cook the pasta and drain.
6. Add the cooked spaghetti to the crockpot and stir until everything is coated in the sauce.
Enjoy!
