Slow-Cooker Cajun Chicken Pasta image

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.

The chicken was a bit tough, but the sauce was delicious. I'll try cooking the chicken on high for less time next time.

This dish is a bit bland. I would recommend adding more Cajun seasoning or some other spices.

I was skeptical about cooking pasta in the slow cooker, but it turned out perfectly al dente.

The sauce was too thin for my taste, but the chicken was delicious. Next time I'll try thickening the sauce with a little cornstarch.

This dish was easy to make and turned out great. I used boneless, skinless chicken breasts and they cooked perfectly in the slow cooker.

I've made this recipe several times and it's always a crowd-pleaser. The Cajun seasoning gives it a nice kick without being too spicy.
