Cajun Chicken Alfredo
Cajun Chicken Alfredo is a delicious and flavorful dish that combines the spicy flavors of Cajun seasoning with the creamy goodness of Alfredo sauce. This dish is perfect for those who love a little bit of heat in their meals.
To make Cajun Chicken Alfredo, you will need the following ingredients per serving:
- 1 boneless, skinless chicken breast, sliced into thin strips
- 1/2 cup heavy cream
- 1/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese
- 1/4 cup diced tomatoes
- 1/4 cup diced green onions
- 1/4 cup Cajun seasoning
- 1/4 cup butter
- 1/4 cup olive oil
- 1/2 pound fettuccine pasta
To start, cook the fettuccine pasta according to the package instructions. While the pasta is cooking, heat the olive oil and butter in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the chicken strips and Cajun seasoning to the skillet and cook until the chicken is browned and cooked through, about 5-7 minutes.
Once the chicken is cooked, remove it from the skillet and set it aside. In the same skillet, add the heavy cream, Parmesan cheese, diced tomatoes, and diced green onions. Stir the mixture until the cheese is melted and the sauce is heated through.
Once the pasta is cooked, drain it and add it to the skillet with the sauce. Toss the pasta in the sauce until it is coated evenly. Add the cooked chicken back to the skillet and toss everything together.
The finished dish should be creamy, spicy, and full of flavor. The Cajun seasoning adds a nice kick to the dish, while the Alfredo sauce balances out the heat with its creamy richness. The diced tomatoes and green onions add a pop of freshness to the dish.
Cajun Chicken Alfredo is a perfect dish for those who love a little bit of spice in their meals. It is a great way to switch up your usual pasta routine and try something new. This dish is perfect for a cozy night in or for entertaining guests.
