Tips for using your Slow Cooker for Cajun Chicken Alfredo

These are a few tips that I have for cooking this dish in your crock pot.

Know your slow cooker

Not all slow cookers cook the same. I know that my crock pot cooks hotter than most and I adjust recipes accordingly.

Watch your food the first time cooking

If I am trying a new recipe in my slow cooker, I cook it on a day that I will be home so that I can keep an eye on the food. Goes back to knowing your slow cooker above. Then when you make it in the future, you know exactly how the dish will perform.

Using a different Cajun Seasoning

Depending on the seasoning you choose, you may want to cut out the salt. The seasoning could have more salt than the one I used. A person can always salt to taste after the dish is cooked.

My Best Tip – Shredding Chicken

If you do not want to cut your chicken into bite sized chunks and feel like shredding the chicken, I have a wonderful tip for you!

Since the chicken has cooked in the slow cooker, it should be tender. The best way to shred chicken put the chicken breast in a large bowl and use your hand mixer. It makes quick work of shredding chicken.

Frozen or Thawed Chicken

I used frozen chicken to make this recipe and it turned out great. If you choose to use frozen, use the recipe as the card says.

If you use thawed chicken, you may need to lower your cook time.

With thawed chicken, apply the Cajun seasoning by placing the chicken breasts into a large bag along with the Cajun seasoning.

Close the bag and shake to coat the chicken breasts with the Cajun Seasoning.

What to serve with your pasta

When serving this creamy chicken pasta, make sure to also serve garlic bread. They go hand-in-hand.

Of course, a nice glass of wine goes wonderfully with it as well, but optional.

How to store Cajun Chicken Alfredo

If you have leftovers, store them in an air-tight container in the refrigerator.
