Cajun Chicken Pasta Skillet

INGREDIENTS

• 2 – 3 Boneless Skinless Chicken Breasts, Cut Into Bite-Sized Chunks
• 12 Ounces Pasta I Used Bowtie, But Any Type Works
• 2 Tablespoons Olive Oil
• 2 Tablespoons Cajun seasoning of your choice
• 1 Teaspoon Garlic Powder
• 1/2 Teaspoon Onion Powder
• Salt And Pepper To Taste
• 4 Cloves Garlic Minced
• 1 Tablespoon Butter
• 1 Cup Heavy Cream
• 1/2 Cup Chicken Broth
• 1 Cup Shredded Mozzarella Cheese
• 1/2 Cup Grated Parmesan Cheese
• 1/2 Cup Shredded Cheddar Cheese

DIRECTIONS

1. Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Add the pasta and cook according to the package directions until al dente. Drain and set aside.
2. Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Toss the chicken pieces with Cajun seasoning, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and pepper.
3. Add the chicken to the skillet and cook for 6–7 minutes, until browned and fully cooked. Remove and set aside.
4. In the same skillet, melt the butter and add the minced garlic. Sauté for about 1 minute until fragrant. Pour in the chicken broth and heavy cream, stirring to combine.
5. Bring to a gentle simmer, then stir in the mozzarella, Parmesan, and cheddar until smooth and creamy.
6. Add the cooked chicken and pasta back to the skillet. Toss well to coat everything evenly in the sauce. Let simmer for 2–3 minutes to let the flavors meld.
7. Garnish with chopped parsley and an extra sprinkle of cheese if desired. Serve hot.
