How to Make Cajun Seasoned Chicken Crock Pot

  1. Cook 4 slices of bacon over medium-high heat until crisp. Remove bacon and set aside, reserving 2 tablespoons of bacon grease.
  2. Add 1 medium chopped bell pepper and 1 medium chopped onion to the skillet with the bacon grease. Cook until softened, about 5-7 minutes.
  3. Crumble the cooked bacon and spoon the bacon and vegetables into your crock pot.
  4. Season 1.5 lbs boneless, skinless chicken breasts with 1 teaspoon Cajun seasoning. Brown the chicken in a skillet over medium-high heat for 2-3 minutes per side.
  5. Arrange the browned chicken and any drippings in the crock pot on top of the vegetables.
  6. In a small bowl, mix 1 teaspoon Cajun seasoning with 1 (14.5 ounce) can of diced tomatoes, undrained.
  7. Pour the tomato mixture over the chicken and vegetables in the crock pot.
  8. Cover and cook on low for 8-9 hours, or on high for 4-5 hours, until the chicken is cooked through and easily shreds.
  9. Serve the chicken over rice, mashed potatoes, or your favorite side dish.
