Creating Crock Pot Creamy Cajun Chicken Pasta is a straightforward process if you follow these steps:

1. Prepare the Chicken: Place the chicken breasts in the bottom of the crock pot.
2. Add the Vegetables: Top the chicken with chopped onion, garlic, bell pepper, and cherry tomatoes.
3. Mix the Liquids: In a separate bowl, whisk together the chicken broth, heavy cream, and Cajun seasoning until well combined.
4. Combine Ingredients: Pour the creamy mixture over the chicken and vegetables in the crock pot. Season with salt and pepper as desired.
5. Cook: Cover and cook on low for 4 hours or high for 2 hours, until the chicken is thoroughly cooked and tender.
