Pour the chicken broth into your slow cooker and mix in the Italian seasoning, oregano, garlic, salt, and pepper flakes.
Add the chicken cubes, cover the slow cooker, and set on High for 1 ½ - 2 hours.
When the chicken is cooked through (internal temperature of 165F / 90C), add the pasta and tomatoes. Cover and cook on High for about 30 minutes until the pasta is al dente making sure to stir once half way through cooking.
Add the cheeses, stirring until melted. Then add the spinach and allow to cook for a few minutes until wilted. Then serve.

If you begin with raw chicken, check for doneness with a meat thermometer. The internal temperature of the chicken should reach 165F / 74C.
To save time, you can use precooked, leftover chicken, shredded rotisserie chicken, or even canned chicken in this recipe. After adding the chicken to the dish, allow the liquid to heat up a bit before adding the pasta.
If you don’t have garlic purée, use a microplane to grate 1-2 cloves of garlic.
Press all of the pasta under the liquid to ensure that all of it cooks.
To make this dish vegetarian, simply use veggie broth instead of chicken broth and leave the chicken out.
