Easy Pasta with Chicken and Creamy Cajun Alfredo Sauce Recipe

🧂 Ingredients

• 8 ounces Fettuccine pasta
• 2 tablespoon Olive oil
• 1 Chicken breasts
• ¼ cup Unsalted butter
• 2 cloves Garlic powder
• 2 cups Heavy cream
• Grated Parmesan cheese
• 4 ounce Cream cheese
• ½ cup Pasta water
• 1 teaspoon Chicken Powder
• 2 teaspoon Cajun seasoning
• 1 teaspoon Red pepper flakes

  Optional
• Salt and black pepper
• ½ cup parsley

Instructions

• 1 In a large pot of salted cold water, cook your favorite pasta until it’s al
  dente. Reserve ½ cup of the pasta water before draining.
• 2 Season the seasoned chicken breasts with cajun seasoning, garlic powder, and a
  bit of black pepper. In a large pan, heat olive oil over medium-high heat and
  cook the chicken until the internal temperature reaches 165°F, about 5-7 minutes
  per side. Remove from the pan and set aside to rest before slicing.
• 3 In the same pan, lower the heat to medium heat. Melt butter and saute garlic
  until fragrant.
• 4 Stir in the heavy cream and bring to a simmer over medium-low heat. Gradually
  whisk in the chicken powder, cajun seasoning, cream cheese and grated parmesan
  cheese until the sauce is smooth and creamy. Add a splash of pasta water to thin
  the sauce if needed.
• 5 Toss the cooked pasta in the sauce until well coated. Add fresh parsley.
• 6 Add the sliced chicken on top and garnish with red pepper flakes (if using) or
  fresh parsley. Serve with garlic bread or a side of green beans for a complete
  meal.
