Creating Creamy Cajun Chicken Rotini with Mozzarella Alfredo Sauce is straightforward if you follow these simple steps:
1. Cook the Pasta: Begin by boiling a large pot of salted water. Add the rotini pasta and cook according to package instructions until al dente. Drain and set aside.
2. Season the Chicken: In a mixing bowl, toss the diced chicken breast with Cajun seasoning until evenly coated.
3. Heat the Oil: In a large skillet, heat olive oil over medium heat.
4. Cook the Chicken: Add the seasoned chicken to the skillet and cook for about 5-7 minutes, or until the chicken is cooked through and no longer pink. Remove the chicken from the skillet and set aside.
5. Sauté Garlic: In the same skillet, add minced garlic and sauté for 1 minute until fragrant.
6. Make the Sauce: Pour in the heavy cream, stirring to combine with the garlic. Allow it to simmer for 2-3 minutes.
