Slow Cooker Chicken Parmesan Penne Directions:
-
Lightly coat the inside of a 6-quart slow cooker with nonstick cooking spray.
-
Arrange the chicken breasts in a single layer on the bottom of the slow cooker.
-
Pour the marinara sauce evenly over the chicken and sprinkle with Italian seasoning.
-
Cover and cook on LOW for 4–6 hours or on HIGH for 2–3 hours, until the chicken is fully cooked and tender while holding its shape.
-
About 20 minutes before serving, cook the penne pasta according to package directions and drain well.
-
Add the cooked penne pasta to the slow cooker, gently tucking it into the sauce underneath the chicken while keeping the chicken breasts whole on top.
-
Sprinkle the Parmesan cheese evenly over the chicken breasts.
-
Cover and let sit on WARM for 5 minutes, until the cheese melts and lightly sets.
-
Serve by spooning penne onto plates and placing one chicken breast on top.
