How to Make Cajun Chicken in a Crock Pot
Aunt Lou here.
Ever have a day where your 2 year old wakes you up after you’ve only had 4 1/2 hours of sleep? Yea, me too. Those are the days I just want an easy way to get some delicious food on the table for my family. Ever have one of those days? Well, I was looking at Cris’ Crock Pot Creole Pork Chopsย and really wanted to make it with chicken. My only problem was that I didn’t have Creole seasoning. However, I did have Cajun seasoning. The results were an amazing flavor packed dish that had enough kick to give it some spice, but not so spicy that this spice-sensitive momma couldn’t eat it. It. Was. Awesome.
Ingredients for Slow Cooker Cajun Chicken

This was one of the first recipes I ever made in a crock when I first got mine seven or eight years ago. Perfect recipe for beginners. It doesn’t get any easier and it is delicious. The best thing about it is the ease of customizing it. Replace the tablespoon of cajun seasoning with creole, or garlic powder, or black pepper, or bbq, or whatever flavor/combo you want! I do recommend checking the temperature of the meat every so often during the final hour as breasts do dry out when overcooked, even in a crock.
Easy and flavorful
So easy and flavorful! Everyone loved it!! Just what we need in our busy lives. Thank you for this recipe! ๐ค
I’m so glad you loved this recipe! Thank you for letting us know. We love hearing when our readers enjoy one of our recipes.
This is probably a silly question, but I didn’t see it in the directions, did you shred the chicken once it was done cooking? Or serve it whole? I suppose you could do it either way but I’d love to know how you did it! Thanks!
I did not shred it, but you absolutely could shred it. I think it would be yummy that way. I hope you enjoy it as much as we do!
We doubled the recipe (only because the chicken was frozen and doubled the cooking time), used cream of chicken and cream of mushroom soup. Shredded the chicken the next night for leftovers, added a bit of white cheese to the gravy and made chicken tortillas. Excellent โ will be making this again.
If the chicken is frozen, how many hours would you need to cook this? I gather that the chicken in this recipe is not frozen, since you only coo it for 2-3 hours. It sounds WONDERFUL and I can’t wait to try it.
Thanks, Janet
Hi Janet!
Most of the food safety information out now doesn’t recommend cooking frozen meat due to all of the meat not being able to reach safe cooking temperatures fast enough. So just thaw out your chicken in your fridge the night before and you’ll be good to go! Enjoy!
