🔹️Cajun-Style Chicken with Creamy Parmesan Linguine
👉Ingredients:
↪️2 boneless, skinless chicken breasts, sliced into strips
↪️12 oz linguine pasta
↪️2 tablespoons olive oil
↪️2 tablespoons Cajun seasoning
↪️1 teaspoon smoked paprika
↪️1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
↪️4 garlic cloves, minced
↪️1 cup heavy cream
↪️1/2 cup chicken broth
↪️1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese
↪️Salt and black pepper, to taste
↪️Fresh chopped parsley, for garnish
👉Instructions:
✅️1. Season the Chicken: In a small bowl, combine Cajun seasoning, smoked paprika, garlic powder, salt, and pepper. Rub the spice blend all over the chicken strips until fully coated.
✅️2. Cook the Chicken: Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the seasoned chicken and cook for about 6–7 minutes, flipping occasionally, until golden brown and cooked through. Transfer to a plate and set aside.
✅️3. Boil the Pasta: While the chicken cooks, bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Cook the linguine according to package directions. Drain and set aside, reserving a bit of the pasta water in case you need to loosen the sauce later.
✅️4. Make the Sauce: In the same skillet, add a bit more oil if needed and sauté the minced garlic over medium heat until fragrant, about 1 minute.
✅️5. Add Liquid Ingredients: Pour in the chicken broth and scrape up any bits stuck to the pan. Stir in the heavy cream and let the mixture simmer for 2–3 minutes, allowing it to thicken slightly.
✅️6. Combine Pasta and Sauce: Add the cooked linguine to the skillet and toss to coat in the sauce. Stir in the Parmesan cheese until melted and the sauce becomes creamy and smooth.
✅️7. Bring It All Together: Return the cooked chicken to the skillet and stir to combine everything well.
✅️8. Garnish and Serve: Sprinkle with chopped parsley and serve hot.
