Cajun Chicken Alfredo Pasta

Cajun Chicken Alfredo Pasta is a quick and easy dinner with all the comfort of flavorful cajun chicken, creamy alfredo sauce, and satisfying pasta.

INGREDIENTS:

• 8 ounces pasta
• 2 boneless skinless chicken breasts
• 2 tablespoons + 1 teaspoon cajun seasoning mix
• 2 tablespoons olive oil
• Alfredo Sauce
• 4 tablespoons butter
• 4 cloves garlic minced
• 1 1/2 cups heavy cream divided
• 2 cups parmesan cheese grated

INSTRUCTIONS:

1. Cook pasta in heavily salted boiling water.
2. While pasta is cooking, smash or roll the chicken in between two pieces of plastic wrap until they breasts are about 1/2 inch thick. Coat both sides of the chicken breasts in 2 tablespoons of the cajun seasoning mix, reserving the remaining teaspoon for later.
3. In a large saute pan, heat olive oil over medium high heat. When oil is super hot, add the seasoned chicken breast. Allow to cook for about 5 minutes or until browned. Flip and cook for another 5 minutes. Transfer chicken to a plate and loosely tent with foil.
4. Add butter and garlic to the pan and reduce heat to low. Allow to cook until the butter is infused with the garlic, about 5 minutes. Add 1 cup of heavy cream, stir, and allow to come to a simmer. Cook for 5 minutes. Remove from heat and add in parmesan cheese, remaining heavy cream, and teaspoon of cajun seasoning. Add cooked pasta and stir.
5. Slice chicken and add to pasta, along with any juices that may have accumulated on plate.
