A delicious and creamy Cajun chicken pasta made effortlessly in a Crock Pot, perfect for a family meal.
Ingredients
Scale
- 2 pounds boneless, skinless chicken breasts
- 1 tablespoon Cajun seasoning
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon onion powder
- 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1 can (10.5 ounces) cream of chicken soup
- 1 can (14.5 ounces) diced tomatoes, undrained
- 1 cup chicken broth
- 1 cup heavy cream
- 8 ounces penne pasta
- 1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
- 1/4 cup chopped fresh parsley (for garnish)
Instructions
- Place the chicken breasts in the bottom of the Crock Pot. Sprinkle the Cajun seasoning, garlic powder, onion powder, black pepper, and salt evenly over the chicken.
- Pour the cream of chicken soup, diced tomatoes (with their juice), and chicken broth over the seasoned chicken. Stir gently to combine.
- Cover and cook on low for 6 hours or on high for 3 hours, until the chicken is cooked through and tender.
- Remove the chicken from the Crock Pot and shred it using two forks. Return the shredded chicken to the pot.
- Stir in the heavy cream and uncooked penne pasta. Cover and cook on high for an additional 30 minutes, or until the pasta is cooked al dente.
- Once the pasta is cooked, stir in the mozzarella cheese until melted and creamy.
- Serve hot, garnished with chopped parsley.
Notes
- For a spicier kick, add sliced jalapeños or a dash of hot sauce to the mixture before cooking.
- Substitute the penne pasta with your favorite pasta shape, such as rotini or fettuccine, for a different texture.
