- 3 teaspoons garlic (minced)
- 1 teaspoon black pepper
- 1 teaspoon onion powder

- ¼ cup butter (cubed)

- 1 pound penne pasta (cooked al dente)
- 1½ cups parmesan cheese
Instructions
- Add chicken to the bottom of a 6-quart Crock pot and pour chicken broth over the top.

- Cover and cook on high for 2½-3½ hours or low for 5-6 hours.
