Creamy Cajun Chicken Pasta with Garlic Cheese

Ingredients

• 2 chicken breasts, sliced into strips
• 2 tbsp Cajun seasoning (divided)
• 2 tbsp olive oil or butter
• 3 cloves garlic, minced
• 1 cup heavy cream
• 1 cup chicken broth
• 1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
• ½ cup grated Parmesan cheese
• 300 g (10 oz) fettuccine or penne pasta
• Salt & pepper to taste

Instructions

1. Cook the pasta — Boil pasta according to package directions until al dente. Drain and set aside.
2. Season the chicken — Toss sliced chicken with 1 tbsp Cajun seasoning, salt, and pepper.
3. Cook the chicken — Heat olive oil or butter in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add chicken and cook until golden brown and cooked through (about 5–6 minutes). Remove and set aside.
4. Make the sauce — In the same skillet, reduce heat to medium. Add garlic and sauté for 30 seconds. Pour in heavy cream and chicken broth. Stir in remaining Cajun seasoning. Simmer for 3–4 minutes.
5. Add cheese — Stir in mozzarella and Parmesan until melted and creamy. Adjust seasoning if needed.
6. Combine — Return chicken to the skillet, add pasta, and toss to coat in the creamy sauce.
7. Serve — Garnish with parsley and extra Parmesan. Serve hot.

If you want, I can also give you a spicy and smoky version of this pasta with a little more depth of flavor. Would you like me to prepare that?
