SLOW COOKER CHICKEN AND PASTA
This is my version of a recipe I have had for years. I have no idea where I got the original recipe but I have made so many changes that I re-named it. Also the serving amounts are just estimates because my family of 4 eats large portions compared to the average family. The milk or chicken broth in the recipe are optional because the soup mixture may be the desired consistency if the chicken makes enough of its own juice.

- Use a flavorful pasta sauce. This will help to give your dish a delicious flavor. You can use a store-bought sauce or make your own.
- Cook the pasta separately. This will help to prevent the pasta from getting overcooked and mushy.
- Add the cooked pasta to the slow cooker with the chicken and sauce. Stir to combine and then cook for an additional 30 minutes, or until the pasta is heated through.
