I'm constantly on the lookout for new recipes to try out for our weeknight meals. I noticed back in February a crockpot recipe at Jenna's blog The Painted Apron. Jenna made a crockpot meal for chicken parmigiana sliders. I wanted to make the sliders because they looked so good. I didn't have any small buns so I decided to make a similar meal but with elbow macaroni instead.
I added into the crockpot a slow cooker liner. It's the first time I've used slow cooker liners. It made the clean-up so easy. You just throw out the slow cooker liner afterward and the pot stays clean. I will be using these liners from now on. I found my liners at the Dollar Tree store. You can also find similar liners on Amazon.
The process was so easy to make this crockpot chicken. It's an easy one-dump meal in the crockpot. Here is Jenna's recipe for the chicken sliders. Thanks, Jenna for sharing your crockpot chicken sliders recipe.
Below I will share my recipe for the crockpot chicken and pasta.
CROCKPOT CHICKEN AND PASTA
INGREDIENTS:
- 6 to 8 chicken cutlets or tenders
- 1 jar of prepared marinara sauce
- 1 tsp. minced garlic
- 1 tsp. minced onion
- Italian seasoning
- 1 cup of elbow macaroni
Spray crockpot with cooking spray or add a slow cooker liner. Add the chicken to the pot, add seasoning, and marinara sauce. Cook everything on a low setting for 6 hours. About a half-hour before cooking is done add the elbow macaroni. Finish cooking until pasta is done and cooked.
NOTE:
You can also add at the end shredded mozzarella. I didn't have any mozzarella otherwise I would have added that to the crockpot.
