I am so excited for this week's Sunday Supper Movement theme: SLOW COOKER COMFORT FOOD RECIPES. I decided to share this meal because pesto is my ultimate comfort food at the moment. I basically crave pesto pasta. Although this recipe isn't made completely in the crockpot, cooking the pasta only dirties one more dish, so that's not 100% inconvenient. Not that inconvenient at all. :) I just love how buttery pesto-y this pasta gets. Plus all the cheese! I'm looking forward to  a ton of the recipes that my fellow Sunday Supper bloggers have shared because they are so diverse!

What you need:
  • 2 to 3 chicken breasts
  • 1/2 tsp. salt
  • 1/4 tsp. pepper
  • 1 cup jarred pesto
  • 1/4 cup salted butter, sliced
  • Juice of 1/2 lemon
  • 1 lb. rotini
  • 1/2 cup shredded parmesan
  • 2 cups shredded mozzarella
  • 1/4 tsp. dried basil
Directions:
  1. Add chicken to the slow cooker and sprinkle with salt and pepper.
  2. Spread pesto on top and then pour lemon juice over the top.
  3. Then top with butter.
  4. Cover and cook on LOW for 5 to 6 hours. 
  5. Near the end of cooking, cook pasta according to package directions and drain.
  6. Shred chicken then add pasta, and parmesan and stir well.
  7. Top everything in the crockpot with mozzarella and cook for 15 more minutes.
