Cheesy Penne with Cajun Chicken in Garlic Parmesan Cream

Instructions

Step 1: Season the chicken on both sides with Cajun seasoning. Heat olive oil in a skillet over medium-high heat. Cook the chicken for 5-7 minutes per side, until golden and cooked through. Remove from the skillet and let rest.

Step 2: Cook penne pasta according to package instructions until al dente. Drain and set aside.

Step 3: In the same skillet, melt butter over medium heat. Add minced garlic and sauté for 1-2 minutes until fragrant.

Step 4: Pour in heavy cream and chicken broth. Bring to a gentle simmer, then stir in Parmesan cheese, mozzarella, and Italian seasoning. Season with salt and pepper to taste. Cook until the sauce is smooth and slightly thickened, about 3-4 minutes.

Step 5: Add the cooked penne to the sauce, tossing to coat well.

Step 6: Slice the Cajun chicken and serve it over or alongside the cheesy penne. Sprinkle with chopped parsley before serving.

Storage Information

Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Reheat gently on the stovetop or in the microwave, adding a splash of cream or broth if the sauce thickens too much.
