Instructions

  • Place chicken breasts in the crock pot.
  • Sprinkle Cajun seasoning over the chicken evenly.
  • Pour chicken stock and hot sauce over the chicken.
  • Top with diced onion and sliced mini bell peppers.
  • Cover and cook on LOW for 4-5 hours or HIGH for 2-3 hours.
  • Remove chicken, shred with forks, and return to crock pot.
  • Add heavy cream and half the parmesan cheese. Stir to combine.
  • Boil pasta separately until very al dente, then drain and add to pot.
  • Stir everything together and cook 15-30 min more to absorb sauce.

Notes

Use pre-shredded parmesan for less prep. Freeze leftovers up to 2 months. Add milk or broth when reheating for best texture.
