Instructions

Step 1: Prep the Chicken & Veggies

Place chicken breasts at the bottom of the slow cooker.
Add diced onion, bell pepper, garlic, diced tomatoes, and green chiles (if using).

Step 2: Mix the Sauces

In a bowl, combine cream of chicken soup, cream of mushroom soup, chicken broth, Italian seasoning, paprika, salt, and pepper.
Pour over the chicken and veggies.

Step 3: Slow Cook

Cover and cook on LOW for 4-5 hours or HIGH for 2.5-3 hours until chicken is tender.
Shred chicken with two forks inside the crockpot.

Step 4: Add Cream Cheese & Pasta

Stir in cubed cream cheese and shredded cheddar until melted.
Meanwhile, boil spaghetti al dente (1-2 minutes less than package instructions). Drain and add to the crockpot.
