Creamy and cheesy, this Cajun Chicken Fettuccine is made easy in the slow cooker, and is a perfect answer to the weeknight dinner dilemma.

In a 6-quart slow cooker, stir together the chicken, onion, bell peppers, chicken broth, and all of the spices.

Put the lid on, then cook on low for 6 hours or on high for 2 hours. Remove chicken to a cutting board and cut into cubes.

Stir half and half, Parmesan cheese, and butter into the slow cooker. Stir in the cooked noodles and chicken; replace lid and cook for 20 more minutes.

Add parsley and stir until combined. Serve with extra Parmesan cheese for sprinkling.
