Melt the butter in a skillet over medium-high heat. Add the mushrooms and bell pepper; cook, stirring, until tender, about 3 minutes. Transfer everything to a slow cooker.

Add the chicken to the slow cooker. Add the condensed soup, diced tomatoes, Worcestershire sauce, seasoned salt, and garlic. Cover and cook until the chicken is no longer pink in the center and the juices run clear, about 3 1/2 hours on Low or 2 hours on High. An instant-read thermometer inserted into the center should read at least 165 degrees F (74 degrees C). Remove the chicken and let it rest until cool enough to handle, about 5 minutes.

Place the Cheddar cheese and cream cheese in the slow cooker. Shred the cooled chicken with 2 forks and return it to the slow cooker. Turn the setting to High and cook until the cheese has melted, 10 to 15 minutes.

Meanwhile, bring a large pot of lightly salted water to a boil. Cook the spaghetti in the boiling water, stirring occasionally, until slightly firm, about 12 minutes. Drain and add to the slow cooker. Stir and serve.

How easyChef Pro scores recipes and products
easyChef Pro analyzes up to 41 nutrients using data sourced from USDA and other verified food databases. Its scoring method uses the nutrients relevant to nutrition quality, calorie density, processing level, and your selected health goal. Recipes and food products get a health score from 0 to 100, calculated using consistent rules instead of being estimated by AI. The same nutrition data, serving size and health goal will produce the same result.
The calculation evaluates nutrients, calorie density, processing level, and how well the food supports your selected health goal. Protein, fiber, vitamins, minerals and other beneficial nutrients can strengthen the score. High amounts of sodium, saturated fat, added sugar and other nutrients may lower it.
Your health goal also matters. easyChef Pro evaluates recipes and products across six health areas and adjusts their importance for your selected goal. This means the same food may be a better fit for one health goal than another.
For recipes, changing an ingredient, quantity or serving size changes the nutrition and may change the score. Remix the recipe in easyChef Pro to calculate fresh nutrition and scores for the version you actually make. Product scores are based on the nutrition and serving information associated with that specific product.
