Place a slow cooker liner in the base of a 5-6 quart slow cooker for easy clean up, if desired.
Add the cream of chicken soup and chicken broth to the slow cooker; stir until smooth. Add the tarragon, black pepper, mushrooms and onions; stir. Add the chicken breasts. Cover; cook on LOW for 6 hours without uncovering during the entire cooking time.
When the cooking time is up, start cooking the pasta in well salted boiling water according to the package directions to al dente; do not overcook. Drain well.
While pasta is cooking, shred the chicken with 2 forks; place the chicken back into the slow cooker.
