Slow Cooker Chicken Spaghetti

Healthy crockpot chicken spaghetti is a true 10 hour slow cooker recipe with whole wheat pasta, tomato sauce and without velveeta. Once chicken is cooked, add uncooked noodles to the sauce and pasta will be ready by the time you are done shredding chicken.

Onions, garlic, celery and carrots with a can of tomato sauce, a few chicken pieces and good old spaghetti. This slow cooker chicken spaghetti was mind-blowingly easy and delicious like this crockpot chicken noodle soup recipe as well.

The recipe makes a lot. You can either cut it in half or freeze the leftovers. If you don’t have chicken, make this easy spaghetti recipe instead on the stovetop and ready in 10 minutes! Or try this delicious one pot spaghetti recipe.

I love the combination of high-protein chicken with healthy pasta dishes like whole wheat chicken spaghetti and one-pot Tuscan chicken pasta!

  3. Add uncooked spaghetti and let the bottom part of pasta soften for a few minutes. Then you can push it all in the slow cooker. Alternatively, you could brake noodles in half to fit all in right away. Give a few stirs to separate the noodles and mix with sauce.
  4. Cover and cook for about 30 minutes (less amount for GF pasta, especially brown rice) or until pasta is cooked. Sprinkle with parsley and cheese, serve hot.

    I want to commend you on your recipe, that I ended up cooking in a pressure cooker due to lack of time. The only changes I made were to use 1 tsp of oregano and 1 1/2 tsp basil plus a generous shake of cumin. I also only added about 2 cups of water since I wasn’t cooking the pasta with the sauce. My skeptical sons loved it.

    Mad this tonight for a large blended family with 7 kids. Most of which are picky eaters. 5/7 ate it so I consider that a success! My only problem was the black pepper was a bit overpowering but I used a very corse grind and will use finer grind and maybe a little less next time. Thanks for the recipes and the inspiration! There is hope! Cheers 🙂

    1. Hi Paula. Yay! There is definitely hope in this cruel and unhealthy world. Hope starts with us.:) Yes, black pepper is a personal taste. I love it but my husband and his mom are coughing like crazy from it, so I add it to my plate.:) My mom always loved black pepper so I’m used to it.

        I love it too–kids not so much.
        Tried the breakfast quinoa today. Delicious! Added soaked chia, pear, toasted walnuts and vanilla. Yum! Thanks again. I’m really enjoying your blog and look forward to eating cleaner & healthier.

        1. My kids do not like black pepper either. 4 year old is screaming even garlic is spicy. Glad you are enjoying and good for you not sitting on the sidelines and ignoring the issue!!!

    Love this recipe. I don’t like the taste of chicken thighs so I will use antibiotic free chicken breast. I make my own tomato sauce, I do not like the epoxy in the can. I want to control the ingredients. Thank you for posting the recipe.

    1. I buy organic tomato sauce in a jar but making your own is much cheaper, I’m sure. Oh, I love dark anything meat!
