- Butter, cubed
- Italian seasoning
- Paprika
- Black pepper
- Salt
- Rotel tomatoes with green chilies

Instructions
- Combine Ingredients: Add all ingredients except for the sour cream, cheddar cheese, and spaghetti to the crock pot.
- Cook: Cover and set the crock pot to cook until the chicken is tender. This will typically take a few hours on low.
- Shred Chicken: Once the chicken is tender, remove it from the crock pot. Shred the chicken using two forks and then return it to the pot.
- Add Cheese and Sour Cream: Add the sour cream and shredded cheddar cheese to the crock pot and stir to combine. Allow it to cook for a little longer until the cheese is fully melted.
- Prepare Spaghetti: While the chicken and cheese mixture is blending, cook the spaghetti in a separate pot according to the package directions until al dente.
- Combine: Drain the spaghetti and add it into the crock pot. Stir everything together to ensure the pasta is well coated with the creamy sauce.
- Serve: Serve warm and enjoy!
Tips
- Pasta Texture: Make sure to cook your spaghetti to just al dente to avoid it becoming mushy when mixed with the sauce.
- Flavor Variations: Consider adding diced jalapeño for more heat, using different cheeses for varied flavors, or incorporating smoked meats like bacon for additional richness.
This dish not only delivers on comfort and taste but is also very simple to make, making it perfect for busy weeknights or a cozy meal at home.
