One Pot Chicken Italiano

 One of our new products this season is the One Pot Chicken Italiano Mix.  It is good except I would add a bit more seasoning - like maybe Seasoned Pepper.  Also, if you use gluten-free pasta, please add additional time.  By the way, due to our dietary requirements, I used low sodium chicken broth, lite cream cheese, and turkey bacon.

Here's the ingredients:

• 1 1/2  lbs boneless skinless chichen breast
• 4 c chicken broth, divided
• 1 packet Makin' Magic Chicken Seasoning
• 1 packet That's Italiano! Dip Mix
• 1 c Shredded Parmesan cheese, divided
• 1 (8 oz) pkg cream cheese
• 1 lb penne pasta
• 
  1/2 (2.52 oz) pkg fully cooked bacon, crumbled

Directions:

1. Place chicken in a 3-qrt or larger slow cooker.  Add 1 c broth, That's Italiano! Dip Mix and Makin' Magic Chicken Seasoning.
2. 
   Sprinkle 1/2 c Parmesan cheese over chicken.  Place the block of cream cheese on top.
3. 
   Cook on High 2-3 hours or Low 4-6 hours; until internal temperature reaches 165 degrees F on an instant-read food thermometer and chicken is fork-tender.
4. 
   Shred chicken with two forks.  Add remaining 3 c broth and pasta, stir to combine.  Cook on High 30 minutes, until pasta is tender; stirring halfway through.
5. Stir in remaining 1/2 c Parmesan cheese and crumbled bacon.

Makes 6 servings.
