1 lb chicken breasts, sliced
2 c of heavy whipping cream
1 c of low sodium chicken broth
1 tbsp butter, diced
2 tbsp cajun seasoning
2 cloves garlic, minced

HOW TO MAKE SLOW COOKER GARLIC CHICKEN ALFREDO WITH BROCCOLI
Step 1: Place the heavy whipping cream, chicken broth, garlic powder, parmesan, salt, pepper, and Cajun seasoning in a large bowl. Mix well.
Step 2: Into the slow cooker, add the chicken breasts, diced butter, minced garlic, and broccoli florets. Stream the cream and chicken broth mixture over and quickly stir to combine.
Step 3: Set on low and cook for 4 hours or 2 to 3 hours on high, or until the internal temperature of the chicken reaches 165 degrees. Season according to taste.
Step 4: Garnish with red chilli pepper flakes and fresh chopped parsley. Serve immediately.
Notes:
To make sure that the heavy cream doesn’t separate when cooking, stir it along with the parmesan into the dish in the last 15 minutes of cooking time. As other brands of heavy cream tend to separate during cooking.
Don’t like soft broccoli? Add them in the last half to an hour of cooking time.
