Ingredients

Scale

  • 2 tsp Cajun seasoning (adjust to taste)
  • 1 cup heavy cream
  • 1 cup grated Parmesan cheese
  • 2 tbsp unsalted butter
  • Salt and pepper to taste

Instructions

  2. 2. Prepare the Chicken: In a skillet over medium heat, melt the butter. Season chicken breasts with salt, pepper, and Cajun seasoning. Cook for 6-7 minutes on each side until golden brown and cooked through. Remove from skillet and let rest before slicing.
  3. 3. Sauté the Garlic: In the same skillet, add minced garlic and sauté for about one minute until fragrant.
  4. 4. Make the Alfredo Sauce: Pour heavy cream into the skillet with garlic. Stir continuously while bringing it to a gentle simmer. Gradually add grated Parmesan cheese, mixing until melted and smooth.
  5. 5. Combine Ingredients: Add sliced chicken back into the skillet along with cooked pasta. Toss everything together until well coated in sauce.
  6. 6. Serve: Plate your dish and garnish with extra Parmesan or parsley if desired.
