# Steps:
01 -
Coat the interior of the slow cooker thoroughly with nonstick cooking spray.

Arrange the chicken breasts in a single layer at the bottom of the slow cooker. Add chicken broth, cubed butter, chopped garlic, salt, and black pepper. Cover and set the cooker to HIGH.
03 -
Cook the chicken mixture on HIGH for 2 hours. Once done, remove the chicken breasts with tongs and transfer to a cutting board.
04 -
Break spaghetti noodles in half and place them in the slow cooker. Add heavy cream and barbecue sauce, stir to combine, and cover. Cook on HIGH for 30 minutes, stirring the pasta once halfway through.
05 -
While the spaghetti cooks, slice the reserved chicken breasts into even strips.
06 -
Once the pasta is nearly tender, add sliced chicken, shredded parmesan cheese, and chopped bacon to the pot. Stir gently to mix.

Return the lid to the slow cooker and continue to cook on HIGH for 15 minutes to allow flavors to meld and cheese to melt.

Before serving, garnish with additional barbecue sauce and chopped cooked bacon as desired. Serve immediately while hot.
# Notes:

For best results, use freshly shredded parmesan and crisp-cooked bacon. Monitor pasta for doneness; cooking times may vary by slow cooker model.
