  • Author: Chef Ethan Sam
  • Total Time: 35 minutes

Ingredients

– 12 oz rotini pasta
– 1 lb chicken breast, diced
– 2 tablespoons Cajun seasoning
– 2 tablespoons olive oil
– 3 cloves garlic, minced
– 1 cup heavy cream
– 1 cup mozzarella cheese, shredded
– 1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese
– Salt and pepper to taste
– Fresh parsley, chopped (for garnish)


Instructions

Creating Creamy Cajun Chicken Rotini with Mozzarella Alfredo Sauce is simpler than you might think. Follow these straightforward steps:

1. Cook the Pasta: In a large pot of salted boiling water, cook the rotini according to package instructions until al dente. Drain and set aside.
2. Season the Chicken: In a bowl, toss the diced chicken with Cajun seasoning, ensuring it’s evenly coated.
3. Sauté the Chicken: In the same pot, heat olive oil over medium heat. Add the seasoned chicken and cook until golden brown and cooked through, about 5-7 minutes. Remove the chicken and set it aside.
4. Sauté Garlic: In the same pot, add minced garlic and sauté for about 1 minute until fragrant.
5. Make the Sauce: Pour in the heavy cream and bring it to a gentle simmer. Reduce heat to low and stir in the mozzarella and Parmesan cheese until melted and smooth.
6. Combine Pasta and Chicken: Add the cooked rotini and chicken back to the pot, tossing everything together until well coated in the sauce. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
7. Serve: Remove from heat and garnish with chopped parsley before serving.

Follow these steps, and you’ll have a delicious dish ready to enjoy!
