Ingredients

- 1/2 tsp each of salt, pepper, oregano, and thyme
- 1 tsp paprika
- 1/4 tsp of red pepper flakes

Make Crockpot Marry Me Chicken Spaghetti
In a large slow cooker add one pound of trimmed chicken breast. Season with salt, pepper, oregano, thyme, paprika, red pepper flakes, minced garlic, and chopped sun dried tomatoes.
Pour two 15 ounce jars of your favorite Alfredo sauce over the seasoned chicken and place the lid on the slow cooker.
Let the chicken cook on low heat for 4-6 hours until it reaches an internal temperature of 165 degrees.
As the chicken is just about finished cooking boil one pound of spaghetti following the directions on the package. Remove the cooked chicken from the slow cooker and cut it into cubes or shred it up with forks.
Then add the cubed up chicken back to the Crockpot along with the cooked Spaghetti. Add 1 cup of shredded mozzarella and 1/4 Parmesan and stir everything together.
Serve Marry Me Chicken Spaghetti
Once the cheese has melted, top with dried parsley and a little more Parmesan and it’s time to eat!
This dish is great with a salad, some roasted vegetables, or some frozen peas. It’s also good with some garlic bread or bread sticks.

Made this today for dinner and it was AMAZING!!! Insanely easy and full of flavor. This is definitely going in the rotation. I used whole wheat pasta and left out the red pepper flakes because we are lightweights when it comes to spice. Looking forward to having the leftovers for lunch tomorrow!
Happy to hear you liked it!
So question, I do not have any fresh chicken breasts but I do have 2 cans of chicken breast. How would I do it if I just used those?
If I were to do it, I’d skip the crockpot and put everything in a large skillet or Dutch oven, except the pasta and cheeses, and heat it up. Once hot, toss in the cooked spaghetti tossing thoroughly to coat then add the cheese’s and stir. I haven’t tried this yet though. 😊 Just an idea.
I made this today and it was WONDERFUL. I use my Instant Pot and set it for 25 minutes on HIGH, the chicken breast were shredded. Next time I will set for 17 mins or so….I think cubed would work better or maybe 2 lbs of shredded chicken. At any rate the family said it was delicious. I served with broconlini and a salad.

My 11 yr old grandson loves your videos. He sent me this recipe. I’m gonna make it for him. Keep the recipes coming 😁 God Bless!!
Appreciate it!
Can I cut my chicken beforehand? I’m making this for my birthday dinner on Wednesday
Yes, that should also work! Hope you love it!
gonna make this tonight but i’m pre-rating it a 5 because i already know it’s gonna slap.
I have seen recipes for Marry Me Chicken bit have never made it – it looks so good and easy. Assuming these are boneless, skinless breasts.
Thank you! Yes, I used boneless skinless chicken breasts.
Could you use homemade Alfredo sauce? The recipe I use for that is a copy cat Olive Garden Alfredo. It’s cream cheese, butter, heavy cream, shredded parm, garlic powder.
You definitely could, but I’m not sure how homemade Alfredo would hold up in the crockpot. I feel like for best results I’d just make it on the stove and not make it in the crockpot if you are making homemade alfredo.
How long do you cook it stovetop?
Just made this…. oh my gosh. Definitely one of my favorite recipes I’ve ever tried. Thank you so much!!!!!!!!!! God that’s so good!

Is there anyway to cook the spaghetti in the crock pot with everything else, instead of boiling it separately? We currently have a broken stobe
