Number Of Ingredients 19

4 bone in chicken thighs
1/2 teaspoon poultry seasoning
1 dash salt, to taste
1 dash black pepper, to taste
1 tablespoon butter
1 tablespoon olive oil
2 cups chicken stock
6 ounces button mushrooms, sliced
2 cups baby carrots
1/2 cup chopped celery
1/2 cup chopped leek
salt, to taste
black pepper, to taste
1 teaspoon oregano
8 ounces penne pasta
8 ounces neufchatel cheese or 8 ounces cream cheese
8 ounces light sour cream or 8 ounces regular sour cream
2 (10 ounce) cans Rotel Tomatoes
1/2 cup shredded parmesan cheese

Steps:

  • Season chicken with poultry seasoning, salt, and pepper. Heat butter and olive oil over medium-high heat in a large skillet. When pan is ready, add thighs and sear about 3-4 minutes on each side.
  • Place the thighs into a large crockpot. To the skillet add the chicken stock and deglaze the pan. Add salt, pepper, and oregano and stir. Add pasta to the skillet and simmer for about 5 minutes just enough to soften the pasta.
  • Meanwhile, arrange the mushrooms over the chicken followed with the vegetables. When pasta is ready, place over the vegetables, broth and all. Dot with cream cheese and sour cream then pour the Rotel over top, covering everything. Sprinkle with parmesan cheese, cover, and cook on low 6-8 hours.
