Description

A rich and creamy pasta dish featuring tender chicken, garlic, Parmesan, and a spicy Cajun kick, served over spaghetti.


Ingredients

  • 12 oz spaghetti
  • 2 boneless, skinless chicken breasts, sliced into strips
  • 2 tbsp olive oil
  • 4 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 cup heavy cream
  • 1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese
  • 1 tbsp Cajun seasoning
  • 1/2 tsp salt
  • 1/4 tsp black pepper
  • Fresh parsley, chopped (for garnish)


Instructions

  1. Cook spaghetti according to package directions; drain and set aside.
  2. Season chicken strips with salt, pepper, and 1/2 tbsp Cajun seasoning.
  3. Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add chicken and cook until golden and cooked through, about 5-7 minutes. Remove chicken from skillet and set aside.
  4. In the same skillet, reduce heat to medium. Add garlic and sauté for 30 seconds until fragrant.
  5. Pour in heavy cream and bring to a simmer. Stir in Parmesan cheese and remaining Cajun seasoning. Cook until sauce thickens slightly, about 3-5 minutes.
  6. Return chicken to the skillet along with cooked spaghetti. Toss to coat evenly in the sauce.
