Slow Cooker Cajun Chicken Alfredo Recipe



Sometimes, Alfredo can be bland, however, this recipe is far from bland.

It is full of wonderful flavors.

Using the slow cooker for this recipe takes it from complicated to extremely easy. And I love easy recipes!

There is no need to thaw out your chicken beforehand. I placed my chicken in the slow cooker frozen.

If you do choose to thaw your chicken out, 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.
