Spicy Cajun Chicken Rigatoni in Creamy Mozzarella Alfredo

Instructions

Step 1: Season the chicken breasts generously with Cajun seasoning. Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Cook chicken for 5-7 minutes per side, until blackened and cooked through. Remove and let rest before slicing.

Step 2: Cook rigatoni 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 mozzarella cheese, Parmesan cheese, 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 rigatoni to the sauce, tossing to coat evenly.

Step 6: Slice the Cajun chicken and serve it over or alongside the creamy mozzarella Alfredo rigatoni. Garnish with chopped parsley before serving.

Storage Information
