1 cup chicken broth

4. Cover and cook on LOW for 5 to 6 hours.
5. Once cooked, shred the chicken using two forks directly in the crock pot.
6. Stir the shredded chicken into the cheesy mixture until fully combined.
7. Cook spaghetti noodles separately until al dente, then drain.

Use freshly shredded chicken if you’re in a rush—rotisserie works great too.
Always cook your pasta separately to avoid soggy noodles.
For extra heat, add red pepper flakes or use spicy diced tomatoes.
