SLOW COOKER CAJUN CHICKEN ALFREDO RECIPE

Slow Cooker Cajun Chicken Alfredo – this cajun alfredo is completely loaded with taste! Experienced chicken and smoked sausage at a homemade cajun alfredo sauce. This recipe is a mixture of 2 of my most well-known recipes, Some Pot Cajun Chicken Alfredo and CrockPot Chicken Alfredo. This slow-cooker version is indeed delicious and certainly will become a hit with your loved ones. The sausage and cajun seasoning taste the chicken and alfredo sauce since it’s cooking and provides the dish a lot of layers of taste.

HOW TO MAKE CAJUN CHICKEN ALFREDO IN THE SLOW COOKER?

1. Begin with providing the chicken breasts a fast sear in a pan. Then move the chicken & juices breasts into the slow-cooker. This measure adds only a couple of minutes, but actually will help add more flavor to the pasta.
2. Then add sausage, heavy-cream, chicken broth & seasonings into the slow-cooker.
3. Cook on low for 4 hours or high for 2-3 hours depending upon your slow-cooker. Cooking time from the slow-cooker fluctuates so much, it is ideal to look at the temperature of the chicken using a meat thermometer to make sure it’s reached 165 degrees. When the chicken is cooked through, set aside to cool then slice.
4. Stir in uncooked pasta. It is possible to use any shaped pasta.
5. In the end, stir in freshly grated parmesan-cheese & then return chicken to slow-cooker. Sprinkle with fresh-parley and extra seasoning.
