I love this pasta! It almost resembles Red Lobster's alfredo sauce. It's great! You can even use seafood instead or go meatless!

CAJUN CHICKEN ALFREDO
Steps:
- Bring a large pot of water to a boil.
- Slice the chicken breast into thin strips on the bias.
- Dredge the chicken strips in the blackened seasoning. Heat a large nonstick skillet over very high heat. Add 1 tablespoon oil to the pan, then add the chicken. Blacken by cooking 2 to 3 minutes on the first side without stirring. Flip the chicken pieces to blacken the other side until the chicken is cooked through, about 1 minute. Remove the chicken to a bowl and lower the heat to medium.
- Add the remaining 2 tablespoons oil to the pan. Add the garlic and cook, stirring occasionally, until lightly caramelized. Add the sun-dried tomatoes and cooked chicken.
- Deglaze the pan with white wine. Add the heavy cream, increase the heat to maintain a simmer and reduce the cream sauce by half.
- Meanwhile, generously salt the boiling water. Add the pasta and cook according to the package instructions until al dente.
- When the cream sauce is to the desired consistency, stir in 1/2 cup Parmesan, 1 teaspoon kosher salt and 1 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper.
- Lift the cooked pasta straight from the boiling water into the pan with chicken and sauce. Turn to coat evenly.
- Nest the pasta on large rimmed plates, pour sauce over pasta, and garnish with scallions, tomato and the remaining 1/4 cup Parmesan.
Tips:
- To make the chicken extra flavorful, marinate it in the Cajun seasoning for at least 30 minutes before cooking.
- If you don't have heavy cream, you can use milk or half and half instead. However, the sauce will be thinner.
- If you want a spicier Alfredo sauce, add more cayenne pepper or red pepper flakes to taste.
- Serve the Cajun chicken Alfredo with your favorite pasta, such as fettuccine, linguine, or penne.
- Garnish the dish with freshly chopped parsley or chives for a pop of color and flavor.
Conclusion:
This Cajun chicken Alfredo is a delicious and easy-to-make dish that is perfect for a weeknight dinner or a special occasion. The creamy Alfredo sauce is infused with Cajun spices, and the chicken is tender and flavorful. Serve it over your favorite pasta and enjoy!
