Creamy Cajun Chicken Pasta Bake

This is a perfect food waste recipe as you can literally add anything you like, all those vegetables in the fridge looking past their best – those work well in this recipe. Leftover chicken or ham from Sunday dinner again perfect for this dish is a great all round base to create a dinner using up whatever you have.

Keep a cup of pasta water as its starchy and will help you create the creamy sauce, in the recipe i have used Philadelphia but you can use any cream cheese you like whichever one works best in your diet use that one.

The spice I use is from Spicentice go to https://bit.ly/2VYUZLG use discount code JULES10 FOR 10% off any order AFFILIATE

Slow Cooker Honey Chilli Chicken

Another fantastic easy meal and again would make a brilliant alternative to a weekend takeaway.  


My suggestion with this meal is make it when your in the house the first time and keep your eye on it because there isnt much “sauce” in the slow cooker these kind of dishes can end up cooking very quickly. I have estimated approx 5 hrs on low but it may not take that long or it may take a bit longer its so difficult to say as not all slow cookers work at the same heat mine is a bit of a hottie with dishes like this.

I used chicken thigh which i think works so much better in the slow cooker however you can use chicken breast if you wish but leave it whole until the dish is fully cooked.

I have given some top tips with the sauce on this one they are in the card below again this is all down to personal preference and taste.

This recipe appears in my cookbook MY SLOW COOKER MEALS which is available on Amazon in Paperback & kindle press here https://amzn.eu/d/bxDzxmn

The slow cooker i use has an aluminium non stick inner, i have used this slow cooker for years now and highly recommend it, you can find it on my Amazon Shop press the link it will take you there then look under KITCHEN GADGETS https://www.amazon.co.uk/shop/julesthelazycook
