Who’s in the mood for some comfort food? I have found that being a bachelor, a slow cooker is our best friend. So I thought I would share this quick and easy recipe.

  • 1 pound chicken breasts
  • 1 pound smoked sausage sliced into 1 inch pieces
  • 3 cups of heavy cream
  • 4 cups of low sodium chicken broth

  • 2 tablespoons coarse Cajun seasoning
  • 2 cloves garlic smashed
  • 1 pound of uncooked penne pasta
  • 1/2 cup hot water
  • 5 0z freshly shredded Parmesan cheese

  2. Add chicken breast, sausage, heavy cream, chicken broth, butter, garlic cloves, and 1/2 teaspoon of salt, Cajun seasoning and pepper to slow cooker.
  3. Cook on low for about 4 hours or high for 2-3 hours until chicken has reached 165 degrees.
