Coming out of the shadows with this gem of a recipe because I loved it that much!
Enjoy!
Crockpot Pesto Chicken Pasta
1.5 lbs Chicken - About 3 chicken breasts
Salt & Pepper
8 oz Jar Pesto
1/2 Cup Butter
1 Small Lemon
Sun-Dried Tomato, diced (optional)
Add chicken to crockpot. Salt and pepper lightly, spread pesto over chicken, juice lemon over chicken, and lay slices of butter on top. Can add extra minced garlic and diced sun-dried tomatoes for extra flavor. Cook on low 6 hours - do not open lid while cooking.
1 lb Dried Rotini Pasta
1/2 Cup Parmesan, grated
2 Cups Mozzarella, shredded
Near the end of the chicken cooking, boil pasta al-dente and drain. Shred chicken with two forks in crockpot, then stir in cooked pasta and parmesan. Once pasta is coated with sauce and chicken is mixed in well, top with mozzarella and cover for 10-15 more minutes, until the cheese is melted. Serve and enjoy!
