15 mins prepServes 4
This Cajun Chicken Alfredo was very delish and so easy to make! Features thinly sliced chicken breasts seasoned with Cajun and garlic blends, sautéed, and then combined with Trottole pasta and a rich, creamy Alfredo sauce made in the same pan.
1. Season thinly sliced chicken breasts: Rub both sides of the chicken with olive oil, then generously season with Kingsford Cajun Seasoning, Kinder’s Salt, Pepper and Garlic Blend, and Onion Powder.
2. Sauté chicken: In a skillet, heat 1-2 tbsp olive oil. Add the seasoned chicken breasts and base with 2 tbsp garlic butter. Cook until golden brown and cooked through.
3. Boil pasta: In a separate pot, bring highly salted water to a boil. Add 8 oz of pasta (Trottole recommended) and cook according to package directions until al dente.
4. Prepare sauce: Use the same pan the chicken was cooked in. Remove any burnt bits from the bottom of the pan. Add 2 tbsp garlic butter and melt. Add 1.5 cups heavy cream and stir for 2-3 minutes. Add 1-2 cloves of chopped garlic. Stir in 2 tbsp grated Parmesan cheese for 1-2 minutes. Add 1/4 cup shredded Parmesan cheese and stir for 1-2 minutes. Finally, add 1/4 cup Italian blend cheeses and stir for 1-2 minutes or until the cheese melts smoothly into the sauce. Season the sauce to taste with Cajun Seasoning and Italian herb seasoning.
5. Combine and serve: Add the cooked pasta to the sauce, along with a little shredded Italian blend cheese, and mix well to coat. Add the sautéed chicken to the pasta. Mix everything together and enjoy!
