Ingredients
- 2 chicken breasts Boneless, skinless
- 10.5 ounces cream of chicken soup
- 10.5 ounces cream of mushroom soup
- ½ cup chicken broth
- 1 cup mozzarella cheese shredded
- ½ cup parmesan cheese shredded
- 4 ounces cream cheese cut into small cubes
- 1 cup mushrooms sliced
- ½ cup frozen peas
- ½ teaspoon garlic powder
- ½ teaspoon onion powder
- ½ teaspoon dried parsley
- Salt and pepper to taste
- ½ cup panko breadcrumbs
- Fresh parsley for garnish
- Spaghetti cooked according to package directions for serving
Instructions
- Prepare the slow cooker by lightly coating the insert with cooking spray or a small amount of oil.
- Place the chicken breasts in the bottom of the slow cooker. Season with garlic powder, onion powder, dried parsley, salt, and pepper. Place the mushrooms and cream cheese around the seasoned chicken.
- In a small bowl, whisk together the cream of chicken soup, cream of mushroom soup, and chicken broth. Pour over chicken.
- Cover and cook on low for 4 to 5 hours, or until the chicken is cooked through and tender.
- Remove the chicken from the slow cooker and shred it with two forks. Return the shredded chicken to the slow cooker.
- While the chicken is removed, stir in the mozzarella, and parmesan until melted and smooth.
- Return the chicken to the crockpot, along with the frozen peas. Stir to combine.
- Cover and cook for an additional 15 minutes.
- While the peas are cooking, prepare the pasta as directed on the package and toast the panko. In a small skillet, toast the panko over medium heat. Remove from heat and set aside.
- To serve, spoon the chicken tetrazzini over pasta and top with toasted panko and fresh parsley before serving.
Notes
- Add some olive oil to the spaghetti after cooking and draining it to prevent it from clumping.
- Avoid adding the uncooked spaghetti to the crockpot. It will not cook evenly with this easy recipe for chicken tetrazzini.
- Try using leftover chicken or precooked chicken to cut down on cooking time and reduce waste.
