2Combine cream, onion, pepper, garlic and pesto and pour over chicken
3Cook on LOW for 3.5-4hrs
4Add raw pasta and shallots, stir and cook on LOW an additional 30minutes (for small shells, larger pasta types might need 45mins+)

Notes
1I think spinach would also make a nice addition added at the end to wilt before serving

It would be a much stronger tomato flavour than the pesto I think but you could 🙂

My family loved this and they are so fussy when I cook meals in the slow cooker. I will definitely cook this again, finally had a win.

Does it have to be pesto or can I use Tomato Paste?

We love this so much! I don’t add the onion or shallots . I also cook the pasta seperate as I don’t have it but the others do. I love the sundried tomato flavour. It’s cooking away right now for our dinner.

This was a big winner in my house! So yummy!!! We used chicken breast which was a bit dry, we might put the breast in whole next time and shred. Also think adding bacon and even chopped sundried tomatoes as well as the pesto will give it that extra texture! A must try 😃

This was delicious! My husband and almost 2 year old inhaled their dinner! Was absolutely a winner in our house and ill be making it again for sure. Next time i think ill stir some chopped avocado in right at the end which i think would be a nice addition but this recipe was perfect without it! Super yummy!

A bit too rich for my family. Might swap out the cream for evaporated milk
