Crockpot Mexican Chicken Spaghetti

January 15, 2020 by My Farmhouse Table 4 Comments

Crockpot Mexican Chicken Spaghetti

We are kicking off Week #2 of January’s “Double Dinners” theme. When I was working at coming up with recipes for this month, I realized it has been a while since I’ve shared a chicken main course on the blog. Well that drought ends today with this Crockpot Mexican Chicken Spaghetti.

This is a family favorite recipe that we have been making for years.

Mostly because other than cooking the pasta, everything is put together in a crockpot.

Which makes this meal both a “Double Dinner” and a slow cooker favorite.

That is what I consider a Win-Win.

Just combine a few pantry staples into your Crockpot:

Velveeta, cooked chicken, cream of mushroom soup, cream of chicken soup, a can of petite diced tomatoes, can of green chilies, and a small onion.

A little salt and pepper. Turn on Low and cook for a couple hours. Stir in the cooked spaghetti and dinner is ready.

But since this a post on making the meal a “Double Dinner”, let’s talk about how to freeze for round number two!

Once the mixture has cooked for a couple hours, I dish out half of the cheesy chicken goodness into a freezer safe container. Label the top with reheating instructions and stick in the freezer to eat at another time.

Then stir in the cooked pasta to the remaining half that is in the crockpot. Serve with a big green salad on the side and dinner is ready!

      It is super mild. The only ingredient that MAY include a little heat is the can of mild green chiles.

    You add the ingredients right to the slow cooker and while the chicken cooks, it makes the sauce all by itself. Pull the chicken out, shred it up, and add it back to the crock pot with the cooked pasta, sprinkle a little cheese on top and you re ready to eat! It s seriously that quick and easy.

You know you’re a gardener if any of these gif’s and memes ring true to you too… Waiting for spring tests your patience that’s for sure, but buckets of blooms and produce make it worth it every time!
I’ve been a fan of Fr. Mike Schmitz and his podc I’ve been a fan of Fr. Mike Schmitz and his podcasts (Bible in a Year) for a while, but I found this quote of his the other day and it was as though I had been hit over the head with a wooden spoon. 

How often are we happy in life just to survive? I get it life is ROUGH- survival mode is sometimes all we can handle in a season, but after I read this quote I thought to myself- am I living too small of a story? Sometimes yes, I get stuck in my routines. The edges, things that push me, things that scare me- it’s uncomfortable. I doubt myself and what I’m capable of… but He doesn’t.  I’m going to cling to that truth as I continue to grow my own story. ❤️

A lot like life, right?

Well, there’s one thing I’ve learned you can never grow if you don’t plant the seeds. So as we kick off a new year here’s your sign to plant the seeds in the areas of your life you want to see grow.

Faith. Relationships. Yourself. 

Sure you may fail more then you succeed, but you’ll never know if you don’t even start. ❤️ 

Thanks for sticking around for my unqualified TED talk 😜

As much as I dislike the idea of not going out into my garden every few days to pick these stunners for bouquets to fill my vases and jars, I am happy to say goodbye to weeding, watering, and that big spider in the cosmo patch that we mutually agreed to stay out of each others way and we both will be fine 😜
