Creamy Cajun Chicken Pasta

Instructions:

1. Prepare the Chicken:

   • Slice the chicken breasts horizontally if they are thick, creating cutlets.

   • Season the chicken well with Cajun seasoning on both sides.

   • In a large skillet, heat olive oil and butter over medium-high heat.

   • Sear the chicken for about 4–5 minutes per side until golden brown and cooked through.

   • Remove from the pan and let rest. Then slice into strips.

2. Cook the Pasta:

   • In a large pot of salted boiling water, cook the pasta according to package instructions until al dente. Drain and set aside.

3. Make the Creamy Cajun Sauce:

   • In the same skillet used for the chicken, add butter and sauté the minced garlic until fragrant (about 30 seconds).

   • Add the heavy cream and Cajun seasoning. Stir and let it simmer for 2–3 minutes.

   • Add Parmesan cheese and stir until melted and creamy. If the sauce is too thick, add a splash of chicken broth.

   • Taste and season with salt and pepper as needed.

4. Combine:

   • Toss the cooked pasta into the creamy sauce, making sure it’s well coated.

   • Top with the sliced Cajun chicken.

5. Serve:

   • Garnish with chopped parsley and an extra sprinkle of Parmesan if desired.

   • Serve immediately and enjoy!
