Ingredients

Scale

Main Ingredients

  • 4 chicken breasts
  • 2 (10.5 oz) cans golden mushroom condensed soup
  • 2 (15.5 oz) cans diced tomatoes with basil, garlic, and oregano
  • 1 cup diced onions
  • 1 tsp. Italian seasonings
  • 1 tsp. salt
  • 1/2 tsp. pepper

Pasta

  • 1 lb. spaghetti noodles
  • 2 cups water (added toward the end)

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Crock Pot: Grease the inside of the Crock Pot to prevent sticking and make cleanup easier.
  2. Combine Soup and Seasonings: In the Crock Pot, add the golden mushroom soup, diced tomatoes with basil, garlic and oregano, diced onions, Italian seasonings, salt, and pepper. Mix these ingredients well to form a flavorful base.
  3. Add Chicken: Place the chicken breasts into the Crock Pot and cover them thoroughly with the tomato and soup mixture to ensure they cook evenly and absorb all flavors.
  4. Slow Cook: Replace the lid on the Crock Pot and cook on low for 7 hours. This slow cooking tenderizes the chicken and blends the flavors beautifully.
  5. Shred Chicken and Add Pasta: After 7 hours, shred the chicken breasts inside the Crock Pot using forks. Pour 2 cups of water into the pot, then add the spaghetti noodles. Stir gently to separate the noodles and make sure they are submerged in the liquid.
  6. Cook Pasta: Cover the Crock Pot again and cook for an additional 30 to 45 minutes. Stir the noodles at least once during this time to prevent sticking and ensure even cooking. The pasta should be tender and well combined with the sauce when done.
  7. Serve: Once the noodles are cooked through, serve the delicious Crock Pot Italian Chicken hot. Enjoy this easy and flavorful one-pot meal.

Notes

  • Feel free to substitute spaghetti noodles with macaroni, ziti, or any other favorite pasta type.
  • For a thicker sauce, reduce the water slightly or add a bit of grated Parmesan cheese after cooking.
  • Adding fresh basil or parsley on top before serving can enhance the flavor and presentation.
  • Ensure spaghetti noodles are fully submerged during cooking to avoid uneven texture.
