chicken casserole with pasta in slow cooker?

I am looking for an easy chicken casserole with pasta in the slow cooker?? I have looked on the internet but haven't been able to find anything worth making. Any homemade recipes would be great. Thanks :) I would prefer one without mushrooms. I do have cream of broccoli and cream of chicken soup kicking around.

1. You can't cook pasta in a slow cooker. It needs 20 minutes tops.
2. this one? Crockpot Chicken Lasagna INGREDIENTS: 2 large chicken breast halves, boneless 2 ribs celery chopped 1 small onion, chopped, or 1 to 2 tablespoons dried minced onion 1/2 teaspoon thyme salt and pepper to taste 6 to 9 lasagna noodles 1 package frozen spinach, thawed and squeezed dry 6 ounces fresh mushrooms, thickly sliced, or 1 4 to 8 ounce can 1 1/2 cups shredded Cheddar and American cheese mixture 1 can "light" cream of mushroom soup 1 can tomatoes with green chiles 1 package (1 ounce) dry chicken gravy mix 3/4 cup reserved broth PREPARATION: In a 2-quart saucepan, simmer chicken breasts with celery, onion, thyme, salt, and pepper until tender, about 25 minutes. Remove chicken and let cool; cut in bite-size pieces or shred. Reserve 3/4 cup of broth. Discard remaining broth or freeze to use in another recipe. Break lasagna noodles in half; boil for about 5 to 8 minutes, until just a little flexible. Drain and rinse with cold water for easier handling. In a medium bowl, combine soup, tomatoes, gravy mix, and reserved broth. In a 3 1/2 to 4-quart slow cooker/Crock Pot, pour in 3/4 cup of the soup mixture. Place 4 to 6 lasagna noodle halves on top of the soup mixture. Add 1/3 of the spinach, 1/3 of the chicken, 1/3 of the mushrooms, and 1/2 cup of shredded cheese. Pour another 3/4 cup soup mixture over all. Repeat layers 2 more times, ending with remaining soup mixture. Cover and cook on low for 4 to 5 hours. If cooked too long, the noodles might become mushy, so check after about 4 1/2 hours. Serves 4. http://southernfood.about.com/od/crockpotchicken/r/bl100c1.htm (*-*)
3. You would need to follow whichever recipe you fancy, but only add the pasta 10-20 mins before serving, or it will just be a mushy mess!
4. Chicken Alfredo Crock Pot INGREDIENTS: 1-1/2 lbs. boneless, skinless chicken thighs 1 onion, chopped 2 cloves garlic, minced 1 cup roasted red bell pepper strips 15-oz. jar alfredo sauce 4 cups frozen broccoli florets 9-oz. pkg. refrigerated fettuccine 1/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese PREPARATION: In 4 quart crockpot, place chicken, onions, and red bell pepper. Pour alfredo sauce over. Cover crockpot and cook on low for 5-6 hours. Thaw and drain broccoli and add to crockpot along with fettuccine. Stir, cover crockpot, and cook on high for 30-40 minutes, until broccoli is hot and fettuccine is tender. Sprinkle with cheese and serve. 6 servings
5. It only takes 8 minutes to cook pasta, so if you add it to a soup or crock pot dish it will be soggy and overcooked. Also, pasta cooked in a soup or crock pot will swell and absorb all of the liquid in the pot. It is better to cook the pasta separately and add it at the end.
6. instead of mushroom soup, use what you have Chicken stroganoff 6 boneless chicken breasts 16 ounces sour cream 1 can cream of mushroom soup 1 package onion soup mix Mix all together and put into crockpot. Cook on low for 4 to 6 hours or until chicken is tender. Serve over cooked noodles or rice
