Ingredients
  

For the Cajun Chicken Alfredo
  • 8 oz rotini pasta
  • 1 lb boneless, skinless chicken breasts
  • 2 tbsp Cajun seasoning

  1. Step 1: Cook the rotini pasta according to package instructions. Drain and set aside.

Notes

Keep any leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. To reheat, add a splash of milk or cream to loosen the sauce, and warm it gently on the stove over low heat.
