Slow Cooker Cajun Chicken Pasta

My daughter, Janna really loves the Cajun Chicken Pasta you get at Chili's.  So I went in search of a copycat recipe, and this is what I came up with.

Now mind you, it doesn't really taste anything like Chili's, but my family fell in love with it, and the rest is history!  Hope you like it as much as they do! :)

Ingredients:

2 Boneless-Skinless Chicken Breasts
3 - 14.5 oz. cans of Chicken Broth (I use low sodium)
1 T. Minced Garlic
1 – 16 oz. box of Penne Pasta
2 cups of Baby Spinach  
3 slices of Thin Pepper Jack Cheese
3 slices of Velveeta Cheese
2 – 15 oz. Jars of Alfredo Sauce (I use Light)
Tony’s Creole Seasoning (to taste)
Black Pepper (to taste)
Cooking Spray
Slow Cooker Liners (Optional – but oh what a lifesaver!)


Directions:

1.  Cover slow cooker insert with liner (optional), or spray well with cooking spray;
2.  Put chicken in the slow cooker, add the chicken broth and garlic;
3.  Cook on high for 2-3 hours or low for 4-5 hours (depending on your crockot);
4.  During the last 30 minutes of cooking, add the pasta;
5.  Stir pasta well, and make sure the broth is covering it;
6.  Remove chicken, shred with a fork, and put back in crockpot on top of pasta;
7.  Just before serving, add the spinach and the cheese.  Let the spinach wilt and the cheese melt;
8.  Add the Alfredo sauce and the seasonings, mix well, and serve immediately.

Enjoy!
