Slow Cooker Cajun Chicken Alfredo

Good evening folks, welcome to another episode of .

Now I run home on my lunch break to get this meal prepped.

It’s going to be a slow cooker Cajun chicken alfredo.

Why You’ll Love This

The thing I love about this crock pot is it automatically kicks up to warm when it’s done cooking, so it stays warm.

Definitely, if you just want to sear it real quick in the morning before you go to work, throw it in a crock pot, set it to a low setting to where it cooks throughout the day while you’re at work, easy peasy, right?

Ingredients

• 1 beef smoked summer sausage (sliced)
• 1 tablespoon olive oil
• 1 chicken breast
• Butter (for seasoning)
• Garlic (for seasoning)
• 2 cups heavy cream
• 3 cups chicken broth
• 4 tablespoons butter
• 2 teaspoons minced garlic
• 1/2 teaspoon salt
• Cajun seasoning
• Black pepper
• 1/2 cup hot water
• 1 16-ounce container penne pasta
• 5 ounces shredded or grated Parmesan cheese

Spoken Moment

All right, so the chicken is cooked perfectly, but slicing it’s going to be an issue.

So it’s literally falling apart.

Now, I’m not sure the chicken, this is the best I’ve ever made chicken out of the crock pot.

Normally it’s really dry, but this was so tender and so juicy.

But this time I was wanting it to actually slice rather than shred.

All right, folks, that was really good.

Maybe could have went a little heavier with the Cajun seasoning, but very good nonetheless, nice and creamy.

But I feel like, because we did a creamy Cajun chicken penne pasta type dish not that long ago, right, where we cooked everything on the stovetop.

For the amount of work that went into this one, I think I’d have to stick to the stovetop one.

We still had to sear the chicken and then put it in.

2. Cut this into slices, about one inch or so, however you want to cut it.
3. Cut them into little slices like that.
