Can I use a ranch packet instead of Everything Bagel seasoning?

Absolutely. Ranch gives it that familiar, cozy flavor and works beautifully in this recipe.

Do I have to use whole wheat spaghetti?

Nope! Regular spaghetti works great. Whole wheat just adds a little extra heartiness.

How do I store leftovers?

Pop leftovers into an airtight container and refrigerate for 3–4 days . Reheat with a splash of broth or milk to bring the sauce back to life.

Can I freeze Crock Pot Chicken Spaghetti?

You can, but pasta can soften after freezing. If you’re planning to freeze, freeze the sauce + chicken portion, then cook fresh spaghetti when you’re ready to eat.

What can I add to sneak in veggies?

Stir in spinach at the end, or add cooked mushrooms, peas, or diced bell peppers. The sauce is creamy enough to “hide” a lot.

Instructions

Add cream of mushroom soup, cream of chicken soup, chicken broth, diced tomatoes, and Neufchatel cheese to the slow cooker. Stir gently.
Place chicken breasts on top of the sauce mixture.
Season chicken with Everything Bagel seasoning or ranch packet.
Cook on low for 2 hours, then high for 1 hour, or low for 4 hours total, until chicken is cooked through.
Remove chicken and shred using two forks or a hand mixer.
Blend the sauce in the slow cooker with an immersion blender until smooth and creamy.
Return shredded chicken to the slow cooker and stir.
Add cooked spaghetti and mix until well combined.
Top with shredded cheddar cheese, cover, and let melt.
Keep on warm until ready to serve.

Notes

If the sauce is too thick, add a splash of chicken broth.

For extra cheesiness, mix cheddar into the pasta before topping.

Regular spaghetti works just as well if you don’t have whole wheat.

Great for leftovers—reheat with a little broth or milk.
