Crockpot Chicken Rigatoni Recipe!
Here’s What You Need:
1/2 Box Rigatoni Pasta
5 Chicken Tenders
1 Can of Diced or Crushed Tomatoes
1 Can of Tomato Sauce (8oz)
1/2 Can of Tomato Paste (3oz)
1/4 Cup Water
2 Tablespoons Sugar
1 1/4 Tablespoons of Chili Powder
3/4 Teaspoon of Garlic Powder
3/4 Teaspoon Parsley
3/4 Teaspoon Onion Flakes
1/2 Teaspoon Pepper
1/2 Teaspoon Salt
1/4 Teaspoon Oregano
Small Pinch of Red Pepper Flakes (Optional)Directions:
1. Mix Water and Tomato Paste in the Crockpot and stir until the Tomato Paste is mixed in.2. Add in all other ingredients into the Crockpot and cook on High for 4-5 Hours (Stir Occasionally).
3. After the sauce has cooked for 3 hours, remove the lid and let it finish cooking. This will help to thicken the sauce.
4. Cook pasta according to directions on the box (I like mine cooked about 12 minutes).
5. Serve the sauce over the pasta, or mix the Rigatoni in with the sauce in the Crockpot.
6. Top of with Parmesan Cheese and Enjoy!
This recipe will serve 2-3 people, but you can always double or triple the recipe for a crowd ( or if you are wanting to freeze some of the sauce for another meal).
Cooking time may vary depending on how much sauce you make. Also If you are using raw chicken, you just want to be sure the chicken is fully cooked. If you are using already cooked chicken, the time is not as important and can vary depending on your time schedule. You can always cook this recipe on lower heat for 6-8 hours.
