Instructions

Prep/freezer directions

Prepare a gallon freezer bag, labeling according to your preferred method.
Add all ingredients, except the chicken broth, parmesan cheese, penne pasta, and heavy cream, to the freezer bag.
Seal bag, removing as much air as possible, and freeze for up to three months.

Slow Cooker | Cooking directions

Thaw freezer bag in fridge 12-24 hours before cooking.
Dump the contents of the freezer bag plus 2 cups of chicken broth into a slow cooker.
Cook on low for 5 hours.
Shred chicken and then add heavy cream, parmesan cheese, gluten free penne pasta and 1 cup water to slow cooker. Stir to combine.
Cook on low for 45 min - 1 hour more or high for 20 - 30 minutes. (Some GF pasta like chickpea will cook faster than others, so we recommend checking periodically as the pasta cooks to prevent overcooking)
Stir, serve and enjoy!
