Ingredients

Scale
  • 3–4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts
  • 8 oz penne pasta
  • 1 cup heavy cream
  • 2 tbsp Cajun seasoning
  • 3 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese
  • 1 cup low-sodium chicken broth
  • 2 tbsp olive oil

Instructions

  1. Prepare Your Ingredients: Dice chicken breasts into bite-sized pieces.
  2. Cook the Pasta: Bring a large pot of salted water to boil. Add penne pasta and cook until al dente according to package instructions. Drain and set aside.
  3. Sauté the Chicken: In a large skillet over medium heat, add olive oil. Once hot, add the seasoned chicken pieces and sauté until golden brown and cooked through, about six minutes.
  4. Add Garlic and Broth: Stir in minced garlic and sauté for one minute until fragrant. Pour in chicken broth and let it simmer for three minutes.
  5. Create That Creamy Sauce: Add heavy cream, Cajun seasoning, and grated Parmesan cheese to the skillet. Stir until combined and let simmer until thickened, around five minutes.
  6. Combine Everything: Add the drained penne pasta back into the skillet with the creamy sauce. Toss gently until every piece is coated evenly.
  7. Serve & Enjoy: Transfer to plates and garnish with extra Parmesan or parsley if desired.
