It is so handy to just have the one pan to clean. It has become of my favorite kitchen appliances.
I also really like this crockpot as well. I use this all the time and it’s great.
My favorite feature is that you can lock the lid down. This is awesome for when you need to take the crockpot somewhere.

Time Saving Tip:
This recipe calls for onion andbell peppers. Another time saving tip is to use a small food chopper or food processor to quickly and easily chop the bell peppers.
If you do not have one of these, I highly recommend them. They are such a time saver and you can get the veggies really fine if you have children that are picky.
I usually just chop the entire vegetable and freeze what I don’t need. It’s so nice to be able to just take the diced onion out of the freezer for recipes.
This is how I meal prep. It’s so quick and easy and helps get dinner on the table fast.
Learn and how to freeze onions and also how to freeze peppers to save so much time in the kitchen!

The pasta helps to stretch the chicken and is great to reduce your grocery budget. The flavors combine for a great meal and we love to make this for our family.

We used penne pasta but you can use whatever you prefer or have on hand in the pantry. Anything will taste amazing.

If you double the recipe will the cooking time still be 6 hours?
Is the 6 hours on high or low?
Thanks!
It’s on low. Sorry about that confusing. I have updated the recipe. Thank you!
Delish!!! We even made it again without pasta and added tortilla strips! Loved it!! So versatile!
I love this spin on chicken fajitas! Delicious!
Can you freeze the ingredients mixed together to add to the crockpot later in the week?
Yes, that would work great but I would not freeze the cooked pasta or the cheese since those are added to the crock pot towards the end of the cooking time.
