Tips

  • Store portions in the freezer for several months.
  • Microwave for 3-4 minutes to reheat.
  • Add 2-3 tablespoons of milk when reheating if the sauce absorbs.
  • Cook pasta to 50% doneness before adding to the slow cooker.
  • The roasted garlic will melt into the chicken and add an insane amount of flavor.
  • If you don't feel like cooking, this exact recipe is available as a frozen meal in Target stores nationwide from 'Count It' brand (the creator's brand).
