How to Make Cheesy Chicken Penne in a Casserole Crock Pot
Aunt Lou here.
I love a good pasta dish, don’t you? This Crock Pot Cheesy Chicken Penne is not only delicious, it is a recipe that is sure to be a crowd-pleaser! This is a recipe that requires a little bit of prep-time, but it is SO worth it!
Oven Version
We now have an oven version of this recipe too! Oven Version Cheesy Chicken Penne. Since we test every recipe in our kitchen, we can’t always offer over versions, however, we love it when we can offer more than one way to make a recipe!
Recipe Notes
- I adapted this recipe from Gooseberry Patch’s Game-Day Fan Fare is so delicious!
- I used Cheddar instead of American cheese like the original recipe calls for, so if you want to mix it up, you can try it with American too!
- I used Cassie (my casserole crock pot). While she is only a 3.5-quart crock pot, she is designed to let things be spread out, so if you are using a regular crock pot, I would advise using a 5-6 quart.

- As with any of our recipes, carb counts, calorie counts and nutritional information varies greatly. As a result, your nutritional content depends on which products you choose to use when cooking this dish.The auto-calculation is just an automated estimate and should NOT be used for specific dietary needs.
- All slow cookers cook differently, so cooking times are always a basic guideline. Recipes should always be tested first in your own slow cooker and time adjusted as needed.

Loved it!! But I would love it even more if it could be adapted to use uncooked pasta. (Then it would get the 5 th star ;). I totally love the recipes that call for uncooked pasta. I am all about quick,easy, and no precooking as little as possible.Reply
