    What does Cajun seasoning taste like?

    If you’re not already familiar with Cajun seasoning, prepare to meet what might just be your new favorite seasoning mix! It’s a blend of herbs and bold spices that creates a signature savory flavor. It’s a little spicy and earthy and really does wonders to this simple slow cooked chicken dinner.

    How to Make Cajun Chicken in the Slow Cooker

    Place everything in the Crockpot. Add all of the ingredients, except the green onions to your slow cooker then stir to combine.
    Cook. Cover with the lid and cook on low for 4 hours or on high for 2 ½ hours or until the potatoes are fork tender.
    Serve and enjoy! Stir in the green onions then add more salt to taste and serve with cooked white rice and additional green onions for garnish if desired.

    Storing Cajun Chicken

    If you have leftovers, consider yourself lucky! This easy dinner holds up very well in the fridge for up to 4 days. Just be sure to keep it stored in an airtight container. You can reheat your leftover Cajun Chicken either in the microwave or right back in the Crockpot.

    Ingredients Notes for Slow Cooker Cajun Chicken

    Cajun Seasoning - Any brand should get the job done! You can add a little extra if you’d like, but keep in mind that Cajun seasoning often has a little kick to it, so it might make your dish too spicy if you’re heavy handed with it.
    Salt - This may be omitted if you find that the Cajun seasoning is salty enough. Some store bought brands tend to be on the saltier side, so season accordingly.
    Sausage - For the more authentic Cajun flavor, use a smoked andouille sausage. If you can’t find any, kielbasa works just fine!
    Potatoes - I prefer using yellow potatoes for this recipe because they always turn out SO tender after cooking in the Crockpot! Plus, their subtle natural sweetness helps to balance out the kick from the Cajun seasoning.
