There are so many appliances in kitchen’s now but I still love using our slow cooker for things like chicken and noodles and sweet and sour kielbasa and this cheesy chicken spaghetti. It’s so easy and wonderful to be able to dump all of your ingredients, heat and eat!

Chicken Spaghetti Velveeta Ingredients
- Chicken – You will need cooked, diced or shredded chicken for this recipe. Rotisserie chicken works well or any other cook chicken you have on hand.
- Spaghetti – This will also need to be cooked before adding to the mixture. Cook “al dente” according to package directions. I have also used fettuccini and angel hair pasta for this dish.
- Cream of chicken soup – One can, undiluted.
- Cream of mushroom soup – One can, undiluted.
- Diced tomatoes with green chilis – I use Rotel brand. If you don’t like green chilis, substitute with a can of petite diced tomatoes.
- Onion – Make sure to dice small.
- Green pepper – You will want to also dice pepper this small. Feel free to substitute with red or yellow bell pepper.
Tips for Chicken Spaghetti with Velveeta
- You can use 2 cans of cream of chicken or 2 cans of cream of mushroom if you don’t want to use both for this recipe.
- I would not let this cook any longer than 2 – 3 hours. Since everything is already cooked, you are essentially just warming the cheese so it melts. You can turn your slow cooker to warm mode after 3 hours so that it’s not actually cooking.
- You could also sneak in some extra vegetables by adding in 1/2 cup of diced carrots, peas, or celery.
- Try serving with a side of Texas toast or roasted broccoli.

I didn’t drain the tomatoes or canned chicken…seemed too liquidy so I put the spaghetti noodles (only 1/2 amt called for) right into the pot uncooked…it soaked up the excess…turned out great.
Please don’t use 1pound spaghetti. Way to much!!!!!! I was so disappointed!!!!!
I put in a pound and I thought it was too much…so I added a can of cream of celery and another 1/2/ cup of water and it was ok
Oops I read this too late. Hope it turns out ok.
Very easy for my first time.
Why can’t I just put everything in the crockpot I let it cook why do I have to cook the spaghetti before hand don’t make sense thank you
You can you just need to add a little chicken broth cuz the noodles will soak it it. Also don’t put noodles in until the last 30 minutes of cooking time. Love it in crockpot. Just find a recipe for crockpot chicken spaghetti and follow directions for cook time. Hope this helped.
is that 2-3 hours on high? could it be cooked all day on low? Looks great!
Yep on high. Yes you can put in on low and cook all day.
