Five-Ingredient Creamy Cajun Chicken Pasta
A quick and flavorful pasta dish featuring tender chicken, creamy sauce, and a hint of Cajun spice, all ready in 30 minutes.
Equipment
- Large Pot
- Skillet
Ingredients
- 2 pieces Boneless, Skinless Chicken Breasts Sliced or cubed
- 1 tablespoon Cajun Seasoning Blend
- 8 oz Fettuccine Or preferred pasta
- 1 cup Heavy Cream Or half-and-half
- 1 cup Freshly Grated Parmesan Cheese
Instructions
- Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Cook the fettuccine according to package instructions until al dente. Reserve a bit of pasta water, then drain the pasta.
- In a skillet, heat a drizzle of olive oil over medium-high heat. Add the chicken and sprinkle with Cajun seasoning. Cook for 6-8 minutes until the chicken is cooked through.
- Reduce the heat to medium-low and pour in the heavy cream. Whisk in the Parmesan cheese until the sauce is smooth and creamy. Let it simmer for a few minutes.
- Add the cooked pasta to the skillet and toss to coat. If the sauce is too thick, add reserved pasta water to reach desired consistency.
- Serve warm, garnished with extra Parmesan if desired.
