This is such an easy crock pot chicken tetrazzini recipe, but the combination of cream of chicken soup with tender chicken, minced garlic, and Italian seasoning makes this a favorite creamy pasta supper.
I’m excited to share this ridiculously good recipe for crock pot chicken tetrazzini with you today. It’s become a favorite supper in my household filled with creamy noodles and delicious chicken to look forward to. The teenagers in my family in particular go gaga for it, which I don’t mind because it’s so easy to make!
Like, it’s nearly too easy? All you need to do is add all of your ingredients to the slow cooker and in 3 to 7 hours (depending on your preferred setting), your slow cooker chicken tetrazzini will be ready. Serve it on a bed of cooked pasta and you’re set for an amazing weeknight supper.
Now, this is an easy chicken tetrazzini recipe with a Southern twist. Because chicken tetrazzini is naturally creamy, we’re using cream of chicken soup (a Southern favorite), cream cheese, and butter to get that quintessential creamy texture. What other ingredients do you need? Just some chicken breast, minced garlic, and Italian dressing mix (another Southern favorite because we love a good shortcut).
Keep scrolling for serving suggestions and ideas, but it isn’t creamy chicken tetrazzini without pasta, right? Add a side of garlic bread and you’ll win over your entire family. Ready to go?

How to Make Crock Pot Chicken Tetrazzini
Place chicken breast in the slow cooker.
Add cream of chicken soup, Italian dressing mix, and butter. Don’t add cream cheese yet.
Cover and cook this on high for 3 hours or low for about 7 hours.
Cut cream cheese into cubes and stir that in.
Allow it to cook for about 30 more minutes or until the cream cheese melts.
Use a wooden spoon to stir it up well and break up the chicken into small pieces as you do. The chicken will come apart easily.
Serve crockpot chicken tetrazzini over hot linguine and enjoy!
Storage
Store leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 4 days and reheat them in the microwave. Because of the cream cheese, I don’t recommend freezing leftovers.

Recipe FAQS
How do you serve crock pot chicken tetrazzini?
Serving creamy chicken tetrazzini over the cooked pasta of your choice is the most popular option. Opt for any type of long noodles, like spaghetti noodles, egg noodles, fettuccine, or even zoodles. I also like to add a serving of garlic bread.
If the cream cheese isn’t enough cheese for you, go ahead and serve it with shredded mozzarella cheese or parmesan cheese and a garnish of chopped fresh parsley.

I, too, needed this post today. I remember reading this some time in the past. Is there any way to receive this in an email so I can better process this? I have gone through this in the past and pulled away from Christ. Recently I have broken through some past hurt and now have my joy back. Love being sisters in Christ.
I’m so glad it was helpful. I’ve been there as well. I’ve actually had a time in my life in which I pulled away from Him because of other people in the church. I became disillusioned with Him because of them – I learned a lot of wisdom from that. Do you subscribe to my emails?
Hang in there, sis, He’s got us!
Love this. You’re awesome! xx
P.S. I would love it if you made me a casserole. 🙂
Love the stuffing out of you – and if the opportunity ever presents itself, consider yourself casseroled! (I just made that up. A verb meaning to present someone with a delicious homemade casserole).
Thanks for sharing. Good stuff. I have been mulling over mistakes made and just eats me up. Changing perspective is a great idea and I love the idea about being outdoor more!! Nature always makes me happy. I will give it a try as well as try this recipe. Yumm.
You know, I still find myself thinking of random memories or mistakes from years and years ago from time to time. I think it’s human nature. The trick is to recognize that and rise above it. Sounds like you’ve got a lot of wisdom! I’m glad I’m not the only one who can become happier just by looking at trees 🙂 Maybe we’re kinda sorta a little bit normal? Nahhh! 😀
Thank you the recipe it sounds yummy. I need to quit thinking about the past and not “water it”! Thanks
It’s a challenge, for sure, but one definitely worth taking! Have a great weekend, Sabrina!
Aaaaamen!
Christy, today was the perfect time for me to read this post. We are dealing with some family issues that are extremely frustrating at this point. As much as I pray for guidance and patience I still end up dwelling on the problem which in turn multiplies it! I read your “stop watering…” suggestion to my husband as I realized that’s exactly what I’ve been doing. Thank you for your wonderful insight every day, Christy.
Hey Diane! I’m so glad you found something helpful here and I’m sorry y’all are going through this. You’re in my prayers but I know you’re on the way out and sunny days are ahead!! Hang in there!
Milli Williams, We have no confidence in the flesh, our confidence is only in God. It doesn’t do any good to worry, Just have faith in God for all things are possible with Him.
Might I add get out away from home for a few minutes even if it’s just to the library to pick up a sunny book. I went to the local art gallery when they had artist openings, and in between as well, walked downtow (small town) and window shopped, worked at making something for my daughter, and just tried to connect with others. I usually found the others had worse troubles and sometimes I could point them to something or someone who could help them, and that helped me.
Thank you for everything you say in this post, Christy. It is so helpful and really worth mulling over to change our attitudes. I’m guilty of wallowing in my problems instead of looking at the positive and looking to the Lord.
Thank YOU for being who you are, Aileen. You are always such a warm hearted and encouraging person. You’re definitely one of the folks who build others up and I’ve personally benefitted from that!
