Crock Pot/Slow Cooker or Stove Top Chicken Spaghetti

A versatile and tasty dish, either simmered on the stove 1 - 2 hours or in a crock pot for several hours while you're away. This recipe is equally good served over rice. Serve with a large green salad and bread. If there are leftovers, it freezes well for another meal.
