Cajun Chicken Rigatoni

Instructions:

Step 1: Cook the rigatoni in salted boiling water according to package instructions. Drain and set aside.

Step 2: Season the chicken pieces with Cajun seasoning, salt, and pepper.

Step 3: In a large skillet, heat olive oil and butter over medium-high heat. Add the chicken and cook until golden brown and cooked through, about 5-6 minutes. Remove from the skillet and set aside.

Step 4: In the same skillet, add minced garlic and cook for 30 seconds until fragrant. Pour in the heavy cream and chicken broth. Bring to a gentle simmer.

Step 5: Stir in Parmesan cheese and red pepper flakes. Simmer until the sauce slightly thickens, about 3-5 minutes.

Step 6: Add the cooked rigatoni and chicken back into the skillet. Toss until everything is evenly coated in the sauce.

Step 7: Garnish with chopped parsley and serve hot.
