    • To make in a slow cooker, omit the oil and add 1 cup chicken broth.  Layer the peppers, sausage and chicken in a 6-quart  slow cooker.  Pour in the sauce and broth.  Cover and cook on HIGH 2 1/2 hours.  Stir in the uncooked penne.  Cover and cook on HIGH for 45 minutes or until chicken is done and penne is tender.
    • To make in a multi-cooker, omit the oil and add 1 cup water.  Layer the peppers, sausage, chicken and uncooked penne in 6-quart multi-cooker.  Pour in the sauce and water.  Do not stir.  Lock the lid and close the pressure release valve.  Pressure cook on HIGH pressure, setting the timer for 9 minutes.  When done, press Cancel and quick release the pressure.  Let stand 5 minutes.  Stir before serving.
