Crockpot Cajun Butter Chicken: A Creamy Comfort Bowl

Instructions

Place the chicken breasts in the bottom of the slow cooker.

Sprinkle the Cajun seasoning evenly over the meat, then pour in the chicken broth.

Scatter the cubed unsalted butter over the top of the chicken.

Cover and cook on LOW for 4 hours (or HIGH for 2-3 hours) until the chicken yields easily to a fork.

Using two forks, shred the chicken directly in the slow cooker into thick, pull-apart pieces.

Whisk together the cornstarch and cold water in a small bowl.

Stir the slurry and the heavy cream into the shredded chicken.

Turn the heat to HIGH and let it bubble uncovered for 15-20 minutes until you have a thick, glossy sauce.

Cook the long-grain white rice according to package instructions until perfectly fluffy.

Serve the saucy shredded chicken over a bed of the fluffy white rice.

Garnish generously with chopped fresh green parsley, coarse black pepper, and red paprika flakes.
