Before you add your chicken to the slow cooker, brown each side in a hot pan. Sprinkle each chicken breast with Italian seasoning, salt and pepper.
Add the chicken to slow cooker and then top with butter, lemon juice, zest and chicken broth. Let the chicken cook for 4-6 hours.
Remove the chicken and shred it up. Set aside and add a mixture of cream and cornstarch the the slow cooker. Let it cook for about 10 minutes to thicken up.
Add your shredded chicken back in and cooked spaghetti noodles.
