"i was in the mood for some pasta, one afternoon. i decided i wanted chicken in it but wanted it to just melt away in my mouth. i immediately threw my defrosted chicken into the crockpot and then the ideas started flowing. i have to admit, this recipe does take some time. but trust me it is worth it! you can eliminate the crockpot step all together if you want. just dice the chicken and saute it, or even use a rotisserie chicken and shred it. either way, you will love this dish...."
