This is one of my very favorite dinners! I found this recipe at Half My Size. I had never eaten Chicken Spaghetti until we moved to Texas. It is one of the many things I have fallen in love with since moving to the South.
 |
| The ingredients |
 |
| First, I mix together the soups, rotel, and canned chicken. My recipe calls for canned chicken, but feel free to use fresh cooked chicken breasts if that is what you prefer. |
 |
| Don't forget to cook your pasta. We did not use spaghetti, because this was all I had. |
 |
| Jon is very talented with a knife, however I am not. This is why Jon bought me this chopper from Pampered Chef. It's so easy to chop things now! |
 |
| I chop my Velveeta in small squares so it melts better. |
 |
| The last thing you want to add in are the cook noodles. |
 |
| I put this in the fridge overnight, to cook to next day while I was at work. |
 |
| This really is one of my favorite dinners! |

I also love the Pampered Chef Chopper.
Yum-O! This looks yummy! I've added it to my inspiration file!

Yum!! I love anything with cheese!
Here are the points+: Serves 12 (1 cup each); POINTS 5+
That looks really good. Thanks for sharing!
I saw this recipe on one of your previous blogs and I am planning on making it next week! It looks so delicious! I'm excited :)
My mouth is watering just looking at this. Thanks for sharing it with us. I've been in search of new recipes. This one's going on the "to try" list.
Be blessed!!!
Looks great! thanks for sharing!!
Oh my goodness! This looks delicious! I must make it asap!
Thanks for the recipe!
Would using real cheese work instead ofthe manufactured product that's made of vegetable oil, modified milk solids, flavorings, stabilizers, seaweed extracts and other chemical
products?
cmk - You could try this with real cheese, but I am not sure that it would melt the same.
It docent say for how long and what temp to use on crock pot?????????
Anonymous - Cook on LOW for 2-3 hours.
I am a pampered chef rep and the chopper is my favorite tool. Love the recipe. Totally gonna try it. Thanks.
What size Velveeta did you use?
How long do you cook it in crock pot for once you put noodles in with it?
Anonymous - I use one pound of Kraft Velveeta Light Reduced-Fat.
Rachel - I cook this on low for 2-3 hours after adding the noodles.
Do you think that by cooking it longer you could use raw chicken and/or uncooked noodles?
Lisa - You could try it, but I don't think it would work. If you want to use real chicken, I would cook it and cut it up or shredded it before adding it to the crock pot. If you try it let me know how it turns out.
In the actual recipe, it seems that you put the pasta in the crockpot uncooked? Has anyone tried it both ways, cooked and uncooked?
DeeAnn - I'm not sure where you read about uncooked pasta, because I've always cooked my pasta before adding it to the crock pot. If you try this with uncooked pasta, please let me know how it turns out!
You don't have the ingredients listed and it's hard to tell in the pic. What exactly do you use?
Hillary - Here is the recipe.

I made this last night and it was delicious! Thanks for the great recipe!
Looks a lot like chicken etti.
did you cook the pasta fully or just partially? If fully, did cooking it the 2-3 hrs in crockpot make them mushy?
Anonymous - I cook the pasta fully and put them in the crock pot for 2-3 hours. They do not come out mushy.
I made this for dinner and it was so easy and really tasty. I made a few adjustments. I used fresh, grilled chicken, red pepper instead of green (just cuz it's what I had on hand), and omitted the mushrooms. I also used spiral noodles since they hold cheese sauce so well. Had to use quite a bit more water as well and left it in my crockpot just at the 2 hour mark. Any more and my cheese would have burned since my dern crockpot runs too hot. This makes a ton of food so we ate on it for 3 days. Will definitely make this again. Thanks for the recipe!
This looks tasty. I love slow cooker recipes. It is an easy way to make delicious recipes. I am always preparing low calorie recipes in the slower cooker.
If I want to cut this recipe in half, would I use the same amount of water? Would I still use 2 cans of soup or could I just use 1?
Anonymous - If you want to cut this in half, I would use one can of soup and half the amount of water.
I have this in my crock pot right now! Yum!
Thankyou for the recipe, it was AMAZING! So easy to make, great flavor & My hubby loved it too! Was filling too! Is the 5 ww points plus including the pasta points too? I usually use Ronzini pasta because it is high in fiber. It is 5 points plus for 3/4 cup just by itself? If you could let me know, i'd appreciate it:)
Just made this today! AMAZING! Full of flavor, filling and easy to make! Will be making this again soon! I was wondering if the pasta is included in the 5 ww points plus value for the meal? I usually use 3/4 cup of Ronzini pasta because its full of fiber and it is 5 ww points plus. If you could let me know, i'd really appreciate it :) Your such an inspiration to stick with WW :)! Thanks!
I just made this today! Full of flavor, easy to make & filling!
Thankyou for the recipe :)!
One question though..does the 5 ww points plus count the pasta? I usually use 3/4 cup of Ronzini pasta because it is high in fiber like wheat pasta and it is 5 points all by itself? If you could let me know, i'd appreciate it :)
Made this again tonight for dinner. Still didn't have the green bell, so I used 2 cups of frozen green beans instead. This was a great addition! I also figured out why I am having to use more water. I am using a full pound of pasta. Duh. One thing I am going to figure out is the chicken. I used fresh chicken breasts again, baked in the oven. After sitting in the crockpot for 2 hours, it makes the chicken chewy. I think I may under cook them next time before throwing them in the crockpot. Thanks again for the recipe!
this makes a ton! and is good, but i live alone. can i freeze it after it is made?
Is the 14.5 oz of pasta weighted after cooking?
I didn't cook my pasta first and it came out soggy and gloppy! I can't imagine how it would have been if I *had* cooked my pasta first. I'm not a fan of soggy noodles! (I used whole wheat bowties).
It tasted good - just gloppy. I think next time I'll make the "sauce" and when it's time to serve cook noodles separately. Then pour the chicken/cheese sauce over top.
Thislooked great...I wonder if it would still work if you use Quinoa noodles? I try to stay gluten free as much as possible. Your blog is great!! Congratulations on your weight loss !! What an achievement. I have also lost 100 pounds and am living a much healthier lifestyle. Check out my blog http://citychicktofarmchic.blogspot.com/2012/09/acorn-kisses.html
thanks again for the recipe!!

Hi, I was wondering if you happen to have the calorie count on here? I'm not doing weight watchers, just counting calories the old fashioned way. Thanks!!
I LOVE this recipe! I have been using it for quite a while now and my husband (who doesn't need to lose weight) loves it as well! I don't have access to the ww recipe builder bc I'm doing it on my own, but when I did the recipe in the past on the regular it was 8 points (not plus) with the old system so I just assumed with points+ it was more. Is it really only 5 points+?
Read the recipe people.
Can you substitute the Velveeta for canned cheese soup? I have in previous recipes and they ususally turn out great. Thanks!
Love this! Trying it out today and posting a link to your blog w the recipe on my blog next week! Thanks again! :)

Does anyone know how well this freezes with the noodles? I like to prep ahead.
Wow that looks so very good and to think it is a WW recipe. Thanks for sharing with us.
With the Rotel, how spicy is this? I have little ones that can't do spicy. Thank you.
Rotel makes it a bit spicy Tiffany--wouldn't use it if little ones can't hotter than medium Pace picante.
I totally altered this recipe to make it quicker and more friendly to me and my husband. I used fresh chicken breast and sauteed them then diced it--boiled my GLUTEN FREE penne pasta --drained it--added chicken, cream of mushroom soup, rotel, and velveeta. mixed together in larger stock pot that I cooked pasta in and then let simmer on low for 30 min to make sure velveeta was hot and melted.
Made this tonight. So yummy and creamy. Thanks!!
Your cheesy crock pot recipe looks amazing.
Faye
I notice in the recipe you say it serves 8ppl with a 1 cup serving and 7 pp+. But then under comments you wrote it serves 12 ppl with a 1 cup serving at 5 pp+.....
Also do you think it'd be ok if I cubs touted real onions fr chopped onion spice. And is it also ok if I did fresh mushrooms versus canned...
I'm excited to try this tonight. Please let me know thanks!!
I made this this week! But when I put it into recipe builder, it was 10 points for 12 servings :-( Very delicious though!
I made this this week! Very delicious but when I put into the recipe builder it was 10 points!
Do you happen to know how many smart points one serving would be?
