Cook the Pasta: Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Add your favorite pasta—like fettuccine or penne—and cook until al dente, usually around 8-10 minutes. Drain the pasta and set aside.

Sauté the Chicken: In a large skillet, heat a drizzle of olive oil over medium heat. Season your chicken breast with salt, pepper, and Cajun seasoning, then cook until it’s golden brown, about 5-7 minutes on each side. Once cooked, slice the chicken into bite-sized pieces.

Make the Sauce: In the same skillet, add a little more olive oil if needed, then sauté minced garlic until fragrant, around 1 minute. Carefully pour in chicken broth and let it simmer for a couple of minutes. Stir in the heavy cream and simmer until the sauce begins to thicken.

Stir in Cheese: Gradually add grated Parmesan cheese to your sauce while stirring, mixing until it has melted and combined. You’ll want a rich, creamy consistency.

Combine Everything: Toss your sliced chicken back into the skillet, along with the cooked pasta. Gently toss everything together, ensuring the pasta is well-coated in the delicious sauce.

Serve: Plate your creamy Cajun pasta and garnish with extra Parmesan cheese or fresh parsley for a pop of color and flavor.
