Cajun Chicken Alfredo Pasta

Cajun Chicken Alfredo Pasta, super easy and creamy, and made in one pot only. The cajun alfredo sauce is deliciously spiced, and works perfectly well with the lean chicken breast and the linguine. This is a simple recipe that is ready in well under 30 minutes, and it goes down well as a midweek meal with the whole family.

Ingredients

  • 200 g linguine pasta (7 oz)
  • 1 ½ cup chicken stock/broth
  • 1 cup double cream (heavy cream, half half)
  • 2 chicken breasts
  • 2 tablespoon cajun seasoning
  • 2 cloves of garlic
  • 1 tablespoon vegetable oil
  • ¼ teaspoon salt
  • teaspoon ground black pepper
  • 1 tablespoon fresh parsley
  • ¼ cup grated parmesan

Instructions

  • Cut the chicken breasts into chunks, and season with salt, pepper and one tablespoon of cajun seasoning.
  • Heat up the oil in a pan, and add the chicken breasts (in batches if necessary in order to avoid overcrowding the pan).
  • Fry on each side for 2-3 minutes until cooked through, then add the stock and cream, minced garlic, and the remaining cajun seasoning.
  • Add the pasta, and give it a stir.
  • Leave to cook for 12-15 minutes until the pasta is cooked and the liquid is absorbed, and you have a creamy sauce left.
  • Garnish with freshly chopped parsley and serve it grated parmesan.
