Instructions

Making Crock Pot Creamy Cajun Chicken Pasta is a breeze if you follow these easy steps:

1. Prepare the Chicken: Place the boneless, skinless chicken breasts in the bottom of the crock pot.
2. Add Flavorings: Sprinkle the Cajun seasoning, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and black pepper over the chicken.
3. Combine Liquid Ingredients: Pour in the chicken broth and diced tomatoes, ensuring everything is well mixed.
4. Cook on Low or High: Cover and set your crock pot to low for 4–6 hours or high for 2–3 hours. The chicken should be cooked through and tender by this time.
5. Add Cream and Pasta: Once the chicken is cooked, remove it from the crock pot and shred it with two forks.
6. Cook Pasta: Stir in the heavy cream and uncooked penne pasta. Ensure that the pasta is submerged in the liquid.
7. Continue Cooking: Cover and cook on low for another 30 minutes or until the pasta is cooked through.
8. Add Cheese: Once the pasta is ready, stir in the shredded cheddar cheese until it melts and combines well with the dish.
9. Return Chicken: Finally, add the shredded chicken back into the crock pot and mix well.
10. Garnish and Serve: Before serving, garnish with chopped fresh parsley for a pop of color.

These simple steps will make you a delicious meal with minimal effort.
