This easy slow cooker pesto mozzarella chicken is a meal the entire family will enjoy and loved it !! Trust me ..
It's so simple and easy to make just adding the pasta and parmesan in the slow cooker at the end of the cooking time then topping with mozzarella cheese turned that basic recipe.
Homemade pesto would be better but I don’t have time for that! Besides topping the chicken with the pesto I also add fresh lemon juice and butter. The way the butter tastes with the pasta can’t be beat.
