¼ tsp. pepper
½ tsp. dried leaf tarragon (can substitute oregano or thyme here)

Instructions

Slow Cooker Cheesy Chicken Penne

Then add the cooked penne pasta. I originally planned to make this with egg noodles, I bought an off brand and those fell to bits right before I was going to add to the chicken and sauce. I went back to the store and bought penne pasta and I am so glad that I did. The penne pasta has a great texture, perfect for this recipe.

Heaven on a plate! Plenty of sauce to coat all the noodles. I highly recommend this meal for an easy weeknight meal.
