Slow Cooker Cajun Chicken Alfredo

Cajun Chicken Alfredo – This cajun alfredo is incredibly flavorful! a handmade cajun alfredo sauce with spiced chicken and smoked sausage.

Cajun Chicken Alfredo

One Pot Cajun Chicken Alfredo and Crock Pot Chicken Alfredo, two of my most popular recipes, are combined in this dish. Your family will love this version made in the slow cooker since it is so wonderful. As the chicken and Alfredo sauce cook, the smoked sausage and cajun seasoning flavor them, adding layers of flavor to the dish.

The fact that even spaghetti cooks in the slow cooker is the finest part.
