Ingredients

1 pound chicken, cut into bite-sized pieces
½ teaspoon kosher salt
freshly ground black pepper to taste

4 cloves garlic, minced

Tips:

Use fresh ingredients for the best flavor.
If you don't have Cajun seasoning, you can make your own by combining paprika, garlic powder, onion powder, cayenne pepper, and black pepper.
If you don't have heavy cream, you can use milk instead. However, the sauce will be thinner.
Add the chicken and shrimp towards the end of the cooking time so that they don't overcook.
Serve the pasta immediately with grated Parmesan cheese and chopped parsley.
