Notes

If you like a little color on your chicken, season and give it a quick sear before adding it to the slow cooker.
You can use any sausage you like if andouille has too much kick for you.
Instead of breasts, you can use boneless skinless chicken thighs.
You can omit the peppers and onions or use fresh if you would like.
If you don't have penne pasta, any short noodle will work. Or cheese tortellini.
Store leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 3 days.

Every slow cooker runs differently. Times given are a general recommendation and should be tested in your own slow cooker and adjusted as needed.
