Cajun Chicken Alfredo Pasta image

This dish can be made two ways: 1. The easy weeknight throw together way, 2. The good for company restaurant style way. I thought this way extremely spicy, my husband thought it was perfect so, spice to taste. Serve with salad and bread! I made the cream cheese a range, I prefer it with less but have added more to cut the spiciness when making it for both of us, so taste and add as desired.

4 boneless skinless chicken breasts

Steps:

  • Add cajun seasoning to chicken while it sautes, adding the ingredients to taste, you can always add more later.

This dish freezes well. I often make a double batch and freeze half of it for later. It's a great way to have a delicious meal on hand when you're short on time.

The leftovers of this dish are just as good as the fresh-made dish. I love to make a big batch of this pasta on the weekend and then eat it for lunch or dinner throughout the week.

This dish is very affordable to make, especially if you use store-bought Alfredo sauce. I was able to make a delicious meal for my family for under $10.

I added a cup of shredded mozzarella cheese to the sauce and it was heavenly! The cheese melted perfectly and made the sauce even more creamy and flavorful.
