Instructions
- Cook the chicken:
- Heat olive oil in a skillet over medium-high heat.
- Season chicken with Cajun seasoning, salt, and pepper.
- Cook chicken for 4–5 minutes per side until golden brown and cooked through. Remove from skillet and set aside.
- Prepare the Alfredo sauce:
- In the same skillet, melt butter over medium heat.
- Add minced garlic and sauté for 30 seconds until fragrant.
- Pour in heavy cream, stirring continuously. Bring to a gentle simmer.
- Gradually whisk in Parmesan cheese until smooth and creamy.
- Season with black pepper, and optional paprika or cayenne for extra spice.
- Combine pasta and sauce:
- Add cooked pasta to the sauce and toss to coat evenly.
- Return chicken to the skillet, stirring gently to combine.
- Serve:
- Garnish with chopped parsley and extra Parmesan if desired.
- Serve hot for a comforting, creamy meal.
💡 Tips for Perfection:
- Use freshly grated Parmesan—it melts better and gives a smoother sauce.
- Don’t overcook the chicken; slicing it thinly helps it stay tender.
- Add sautéed mushrooms, bell peppers, or spinach for extra flavor and color.
