- Cook in the crockpot:
- Cover and cook on low for 6-7 hours, or on high for 3-4 hours, until the chicken is tender and cooked through.
- Shred the chicken:
- Once the chicken is fully cooked, use two forks to shred the chicken right in the crockpot.
- Add cream cheese and cheddar:

- Mix well until the cheeses are melted and fully incorporated into the sauce.
- Cook the spaghetti:

- Drain the pasta and add it to the crockpot, stirring to coat the pasta with the creamy chicken mixture.
- Add final cheese topping:
- Sprinkle the remaining 1 cup of shredded cheddar cheese on top of the pasta mixture in the crockpot.
- Cover and let it cook for an additional 10-15 minutes on low, just until the cheese is melted.
- Serve:

- Serve warm and enjoy!
Notes:
- You can customize the recipe by adding vegetables like bell peppers, mushrooms, or spinach to the crockpot.
