Chicken spaghetti is an easy, cheesy, make-it-again-soon-please, casserole that your whole family will love. We teach you how to make it fresh AND how to prep it to be a freezer meal. A great meal for groups of people too!
Chicken Casserole: A Family Favorite Dinner
When I made this chicken spaghetti recipe for the first time last week, my husband ate it for about 5 meals in a row and proceeded to ask me to make it again the next week.
My kids eagerly scarfed it down as well. Tonight’s batch ended up on about every area of exposed skin on my 18 month old, but I take that as a sign he liked it. Needless to say, this recipe is a keeper!
While this chicken casserole recipe is baked in a 9×13 dish, I oftentimes split it into two, 8×8 dishes and freeze one for later. More on that soon though!
Short Video Tutorial for Making Chicken Spaghetti
How to Make Chicken Spaghetti
Here is what you’ll need:
Spaghetti or linguini noodles – I prefer to use whole wheat
Cream of mushroom soup – use organic if possible
Cooked chicken – you can use a rotisserie chicken to save time
Cook the pasta according to the package instructions, until al dente (slightly undercooked). Undercooking it keeps it from getting mushy while baking. This is especially important to do if you are going to make this a freezer meal.
While that pasta is cooking is a great time to sautee those chopped veggies. Multitasking is your friend for this recipe.
In a large mixing bowl, gently stir together the cooked pasta, cream of mushroom soup, chicken broth, chicken, veggies and seasoning.
Now please take note of this: Add in only 1 1/2 cups of the cheese. I always get moving too fast and add it ALL in at this point. You need some to sprinkle over the top so restrain yourself!
Here it is all mixed up. Yum. Or yuck. Not sure.
Either split it up between two 8×8 dishes or put it all in one 9×13 dish. Top with remaining cheese. Assuming you listened to my warning above about not mixing in all of the cheese, that is.
How to Freeze Chicken Spaghetti
Freeze for Later: Here’s the fun part: If you have split it into two 8×8 dishes, you’ve just made two dinners! To freeze one of the 8×8 Chicken Spaghetti portions, simply wrap it tightly or place a lid (if you have one) on your baking dish. (Here are the freezing containers we use and recommend for recipes like this.) You can freeze it for 4+ months! Even longer if you’ve packaged it well.
Prepare From Frozen: Place frozen casserole into the fridge and let thaw for 24+ hours. Follow step 5!
What to Serve with Chicken Spaghetti
Here are some recipe ideas that would go well with your Chicken Spaghetti:
Preheat the oven to 350°F. Grease a 9×13 inch casserole dish or two 8×8 dishes with cooking spray.
Cook the pasta according to the package instructions, until al dente (slightly undercooked). When the pasta is done, drain it in a colander over the sink.
While pasta is cooking, saute the bell peppers & onions in a bit of olive oil until they begin to soften (about 4-5 minutes).
In a large mixing bowl, gently stir together the cooked pasta with the cream of mushroom soup, chicken broth, chicken, sauteed veggies, seasoned salt, cayenne, and 1 1/2 cups of the cheese. Sprinkle it all with salt and pepper, to your preference.
Place the mixture in the dish (or dishes) and top with the remaining 1 cup of cheese. (Freezing instructions begin here.)
Bake until bubbly around the edges, about 40-45 minutes. (If the cheese on top starts to get too dark, cover with foil.)
Freeze For Later: Follow steps 1-5 (do not bake). Cover the casserole dishes with a few layers of plastic wrap and foil. Squeeze out any excess air and freeze.
Prepare From Frozen: Thaw. (Here are three safe ways to thaw freezer meals.) Follow step 6. If it’s still slightly frozen in the middle, you’ll just have to cook it longer than the recipe calls for or defrost a bit in the microwave before baking. Cover it with foil if the top gets too brown in the oven.

Between sports practices, school drop off and pick up, working two part-time jobs, and pretending to keep up with laundry…I am all about slow cooker freezer meals these days. What’s not to love? A home filled with the delicious aroma of slow-cooked food awaits you at the end of a long day and means you can kick off your shoes and relax, knowing dinner is ready to go.
Do Real Food Slow Cooker Meals Exist?
As much as I love crockpot recipes, there is a problem with most of the slow cooker meals on the internet. Perhaps like you, I want to feed my family a mostly real food diet. That just means I try to cook from scratch using whole food ingredients rather than heavily processed convenience foods that contain preservatives, additives, and oftentimes exorbitant amounts of sodium and sugar. Real food slow cooker recipes that avoid processed junk like canned soups, dry mixes, and more aren’t easy to find.
Then, add in our other criteria of making these all freezer-friendly and very few recipes exist like that. Do not fret, however! Our team has been hard at work pulling together a massive list of 101 Real Food Slow Cooker Freezer Meals below. These 101 recipes are all:
made with mostly real food ingredients (we take a few shortcuts here and there, but not too many)
work in the slow cooker
can be prepped ahead of time and frozen as a freezer meal
What Exactly Are Slow Cooker Freezer Meals?
You may be thinking, I “get” slow cooker meals, but how do slow cooker freezer meals work?
Slow cooker freezer meals are those dinners you can prepare in advance and freeze when you have time on the weekend or with friends in a Freezer Club or at a Freezer Party. Then, all you have to do is thaw them using one of these methods and you’re ready for a quick dump-and-go meal.
We have carefully studied each of these recipes and included freezing instructions within this post if a recipe that we linked to does not. Please note: It is NOT safe to place a frozen meal in the slow cooker. The food must be thawed completely before cooking to avoid food contamination.
