Ingredients

• 4 pieces Boneless skinless chicken breasts
• 2 tablespoons Olive oil
• 2 tablespoons Cajun seasoning
• 1 teaspoon Garlic powder
• 1 teaspoon Onion powder
• 3 cups Chicken broth
• 2 cups Heavy cream
• 8 ounces Cream cheese
• 12 ounces Fettuccine pasta
• 1 cup Parmesan cheese (grated)
• 2 tablespoons Fresh parsley (chopped, optional)

Directions

Step 1

Begin by seasoning the chicken breasts with 1 tablespoon of Cajun seasoning, garlic powder, and onion powder on both sides.

Step 2

Heat the olive oil in a skillet over medium-high heat and sear the chicken breasts for 2-3 minutes on each side until lightly browned. Transfer the chicken to the crock pot.

Step 3

In the crock pot, add chicken broth, heavy cream, remaining 1 tablespoon of Cajun seasoning, and cream cheese (cut into small blocks for easier melting). Stir gently to combine.

Step 4

Cover the crock pot and cook on low for 4 hours or until the chicken is cooked through and tender.

Step 5

Once the chicken is done, remove it from the crock pot and shred it using two forks or cut it into bite-sized pieces. Set aside.

Step 6

Break the fettuccine in half and add it directly into the sauce in the crock pot. Stir to ensure the pasta is fully submerged.

Step 7

Cover and cook on high for an additional 30-40 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the pasta is cooked to al dente.

Step 8

Return the shredded chicken to the crock pot and mix well. Stir in the grated Parmesan cheese until melted and creamy.

Step 9

Taste the sauce and adjust seasoning if needed by adding more Cajun seasoning, salt, or pepper.

Step 10

Serve the Cajun Chicken Alfredo hot, garnished with fresh parsley if desired. Enjoy!
