Here's an inexpensive crock pot recipe that doesn't take as much time as traditional slow cooker recipes. I've seen various chickenetti recipes over the years, but this is the one we make at our house. Enjoy!

Chickenetti

1 cup of chicken broth
16 oz package of vermicelli, cooked*
4-6 cups of cooked chicken, shredded
2 cans of cream of mushroom soup*
1 cup of water
1/2 tsp of pepper
1 medium onion, chopped fine
1/2 cup of diced celery
1/2 lb of Velveeta

Sautée onion and celery until tender, about 6 minutes. In a very large slow cooker, add chicken broth, vermicelli, and chicken.

In a large bowl, combine soup and water until smooth.

Stir in remaining ingredients. Pour in slow cooker. Cover and cook on low 2-3 hours.
A Note From Bethany...
*Gluten-free pasta and soup may be substituted.

The original recipe didn't call for sautéeing the onion and celery, but the amount of time in the slow cooker isn't enough to cook the vegetables so they won't be crunchy.
