Creamy Cajun Chicken Pasta

Сreamy Cajun chicken pasta is super easy to make. You can prepare it in 20-25 minutes, so it’s a perfect choice for a busy weeknight dinner! I like to cook spicy and creamy Italian pasta dishes with chicken and sun-dried tomatoes. This is my weakness.

Such chicken pasta recipes are really quick and easy. This recipe isn’t an exception. Just cook the pasta according to the package directions and prepare the creamy Cajun chicken in a skillet. Don’t forget to adjust the amount of Cajun seasoning to your liking.

I really enjoy such chicken breast pasta recipes because they give a new flavor to common ingredients.

How To Make Cajun Chicken Pasta

1. Thinly slice chicken breasts and place them in a bowl. Season with Cajun seasoning.
2. Cook linguine according to the package directions until al dente.
3. Melt butter in a skillet over medium heat. Then, add sliced chicken breasts. Cook for 5-10 minutes, stirring occasionally.

Creamy Cajun Sauce

To make a creamy sauce, add heavy cream, sun-dried tomatoes, Italian seasoning, Parmesan cheese, and salt. Stir in and bring to a simmer. Then pour over the drained linguine. Garnish with additional Parmesan cheese and sliced green onions.

Variations

• Add ¼ cup chicken broth for a thinner sauce.
• Use parsley or basil instead of green onion.
• Try to use different types of pasta.
• Use oil from jarred sun-dried tomatoes instead of butter.
• Garnish creamy Cajun chicken pasta with crumbled cooked bacon.
• Adjust the amount of the Cajun seasoning mix to your liking.
