I just love easy delicious dinner recipes and a version of this dish has been a favorite of mine and Miss Add’s for years. When it is just Miss Add and I for dinner, I have been adding frozen veggies to a box of our favorite Pasta Roni and adding our favorite grilled chicken or broiled pork chops and calling dinner done.

So when I was flipping through  Complete Slow Cooking for Two, I thought we could adapt our a long time favorite concept with one of the chicken dishes in the cookbook.

      Just wondering if you didn’t want to use a box mix (rice-a-roni pasta) any thoughts on how to prepare it with some plain old box pasta? We’re trying to ease off the prepared foods because of the sodium … thanks SO much!!

        Hi Rebecca-

        You could just prepare some regular pasta, drain and stir in some shredded Parmesan cheese and then add a little milk. Hope that helps!

      Hi Cris – When using breast meat will it take more or less time to cook?

        Hi Kim!

        Chicken breasts are usually tender 4-5 hours on low. Personally, I would use chicken breast tenderloins if I wanted white meat. They could be done in 2-3 hours on low. It all depends on how hot/evenly your slow cooker cooks on low.

        Enjoy!

      Hi Shirley- We cooked this up in a 4 quart slow cooker. If you are using a larger slow cooker, it will likely reduce the cooking time. Enjoy!

      Since this serves only 2-3, should it be in a small crockpot other than the 6 qt. Crockpot (brand) slow cooker, as relates to it’s cooking time?

      I’m chuckling. Your instructions say “place your thighs on a plate.” My thighs will never fit on a plate!

      The Hubby does not like chicken thighs. Does this work as well with breasts? The seasonings really sound delish!!!!

        Hi Barbara! Chicken breasts will work too, just make sure you cook until tender. I personally prefer chicken tenders when we are crockin’ up white meat. Enjoy!

        You’re right! Tenders would work much better. Thanks.
