Baked Chicken Penne Pasta

Ingredients

• 16 oz. Penne pasta 
• 1 c. heavy whipping cream
• 3-4 chicken breasts (boneless, skinless)
• 2 to 3 cloves garlic, crushed OR garlic salt (I do a spoonful of crushed garlic)
• 1 Tbsp. pepper (I used about half of this)
• 1/2 c. butter
• 1 lb. bacon, crumpled
• 1/2 c. shredded Parmesan cheese
• 1 (12 oz) Lawry’s mesquite marinade with lime juice

Instructions

• Place chicken in crock pot with bottle of marinade on low for 6 hours.
• Pull marinated chicken out of the juices, allow to cool a little bit, and shred (I pull it apart).
• Set this aside.
• About a half-hour before serving, boil the pasta.
• In a small saucepan, melt butter, add garlic, whipping cream, pepper, parmesan cheese, and crumpled bacon.
• Whisk together on low heat for 3-4 minutes. In a large bowl, pour over cooked, drained pasta, add chicken and stir through.
• Sprinkle a little bit more shredded parmesan cheese on top.
• Enjoy!
