SLOW COOKER CHEESY CHICKEN PENNE

SLOW COOKER CHEESY CHICKEN PENNE

chicken penne

I was on pinterest and saw this recipe and knew I could make something just as good in my slow cooker. I didn’t realize I was going to make the easiest most delicious and kid friendly pasta ever! I made this recipe again a week later for a girl scout pot luck and there wasn’t any left!
