  • 1 pound penne (or pasta of choice)

Instructions

  1. Place the chicken breasts, smoked sausage slices, onions, and garlic in the slow cooker. Sprinkle with cajun seasoning, red pepper flakes, kosher salt, and pepper. Pour the chicken broth over top and stir. Turn the slow cooker on low for 6 to 8 hours.
