SLOW-COOKER CAJUN CHICKEN PASTA
From Sandra Lee Slow-Cooker Recipes. Chicken breast pieces are slow-cooked in a cajun alfredo sauce with tomatoes and red bell peppers, then served over pasta. ***After making this again, I do agree with the reviews that this is much too watery. I will leave the original recipe posted as-is since it is from a cookbook, but I recommend leaving out the chicken broth.

Tips:
- Use a variety of vegetables: This will add flavor, texture, and nutrients to your dish. Some good choices include bell peppers, onions, zucchini, and carrots.
- Don't overcrowd the slow cooker: If you add too much food, it will not cook evenly. A good rule of thumb is to fill the slow cooker no more than two-thirds full.
- Cook on low for best results: This will allow the flavors to meld and develop. Cooking on high will make the chicken tough and dry.
- Add the pasta during the last 30 minutes of cooking: This will prevent it from becoming overcooked.
- Serve immediately: Cajun chicken pasta is best served hot and fresh.

Cajun chicken pasta is a delicious and easy meal that can be made in the slow cooker. It is a great option for busy weeknights or potlucks. This dish is sure to be a hit with your family and friends. With its bold flavors and creamy sauce, it is a dish that everyone will love.
