Slow Cooker Cajun Chicken Alfredo

Ingredients:

• 4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts
• 1 tablespoon Cajun seasoning (adjust to taste)
• 1 tablespoon olive oil
• 1 small onion, finely chopped
• 3 cloves garlic, minced
• 1 cup chicken broth
• 1 cup heavy cream
• 1 cup grated Parmesan cheese
• 1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
• 8 oz fettuccine pasta
• 1 cup frozen peas (optional)
• 2 tablespoons chopped fresh parsley (for garnish)
• Salt and black pepper to taste

Instructions:

1. Season the Chicken:

• Rub the chicken breasts with Cajun seasoning. You can adjust the amount of seasoning based on how spicy you like your dish.

1. Sear the Chicken (Optional):

• Heat the olive oil in a skillet over medium-high heat. Sear the chicken breasts for 2-3 minutes on each side until browned. This step adds extra flavor but can be skipped if you prefer a simpler method.

1. Prepare the Slow Cooker:

• Place the chopped onion and minced garlic in the bottom of the slow cooker. Add the chicken breasts on top.

1. Add Liquids:

• Pour the chicken broth and heavy cream over the chicken. Give it a gentle stir to mix the onion and garlic with the liquids.

1. Cook the Chicken:

• Cover and cook on low for 6-7 hours, or on high for 3-4 hours, until the chicken is cooked through and tender.

1. Shred the Chicken:

• Once the chicken is cooked, remove it from the slow cooker and shred it using two forks. Return the shredded chicken to the slow cooker.

1. Add Cheese:

• Stir in the grated Parmesan cheese and shredded mozzarella cheese. Let it melt into the sauce for a few minutes.

1. Cook the Pasta:

• Cook the fettuccine pasta according to package instructions until al dente. Drain and add it to the slow cooker, stirring to combine with the sauce.

1. Add Peas (Optional):

• If using frozen peas, stir them in and let them heat through for a few minutes.

1. Season and Serve:
   • Taste and adjust seasoning with salt and black pepper as needed. Garnish with chopped fresh parsley before serving.
