Instructions
- Drizzle the slow cooker with a little olive oil. Add the diced chicken breasts, all the seasoning and garlic and stir to combine.
- Top with half of the marinara sauce. Add the spaghetti (broken in half if needed) and drizzle them with olive oil. Toss them to coat in the oil and sauce.
- Top with the remaining marinara sauce and chicken broth. At this point the pasta should be completely covered in the sauce and broth.
- Roughly crumble the garlic and herb cream cheese and add it on top.
- Cover and cook for 90 minutes on the HIGH setting, stirring well halfway through the cooking.
- Check the pasta is cooked to your liking after 90 minutes (mine was still al dente at this point) and if not continue to cook for another 30 minutes.
- Stir in half of the grated parmesan, reserving the rest to serve over the spaghetti. Have a taste and adjust the seasoning if needed. Share and enjoy!

Notes
- Any leftovers can be stored in the refrigerator for up to four days. Reheat in a saucepan or the microwave, adding a little water to loosen the sauce. This recipe is not suitable for freezing.
- Make sure to turn the slow cooker off and remove the inner pot once the noodles are cooked otherwise the residual heat may end up making the spaghetti mushy and overcooked.
- The spaghetti will absorb the liquid as it cooks and the starch in the pasta helps to thicken the sauce. If the spaghetti looks a little dry towards the end of cooking, stir in a little water or cream to loosen the sauce.
- You can use different types of pasta instead of spaghetti however you may need to adjust the cooking time.
- This recipe is just as tasty, and vegetarian, if you leave out the chicken and replace the chicken for vegetable broth.
- Any leftovers can be stored in the refrigerator for up to four days. Reheat in a saucepan or the microwave, adding a little water to loosen the sauce. This recipe is not suitable for freezing.
