Description
A smoky, savory one-pot dish combining Cajun flavors with rich Alfredo sauce for a delightful family dinner.
Ingredients
- 1 lb Chicken breast, sliced
- 12 oz Pasta (fettuccine or penne)
- 2 cups Chicken broth
- 1 cup Heavy cream
- 1 cup Grated Parmesan cheese
- 2 tbsp Cajun seasoning
- 1 medium Onion, diced
- 1 Bell pepper, diced
- 2 cloves Garlic, minced
- 2 tbsp Olive oil
Instructions
- Heat olive oil in a large pot over medium heat. Add sliced chicken, season with salt, pepper, and 1 tablespoon of Cajun seasoning; cook until browned, about 5-7 minutes. Remove the chicken from the pot and set it aside.
- Sauté diced onion and diced bell pepper in the same pot for 3-4 minutes until softened. Add minced garlic and continue to sauté for an additional minute.
- Pour in chicken broth and bring everything to a gentle simmer. Add pasta and remaining Cajun seasoning. Cook for 10-12 minutes, stirring occasionally.
- Reduce heat to low and stir in heavy cream and grated Parmesan cheese until melted and creamy. Return the cooked chicken to the pot, mix everything well, and adjust seasoning. Serve hot, garnished with fresh parsley if desired.
Notes
For added creaminess, you can replace some heavy cream with cream cheese. Customize with veggies or spices as preferred.
