It’s the kind of dish that turns weeknight meals into restaurant-quality experiences right at home.
Ingredients List
For the Chicken:
2 chicken breasts (butterflied or pounded thin)
1 tbsp Cajun seasoning (adjust to taste)
1 tsp garlic powder
½ tsp paprika (optional, adds vibrant color)
Salt & pepper to taste
1 tbsp olive oil + 1 tbsp butter (for searing)
For the Pasta:
3 cloves garlic (minced)
300g rotini pasta (holds sauce beautifully)
2 tbsp butter
1½ cups heavy cream (for that silky richness)
¾ cup grated Parmesan cheese (freshly grated preferred)
½ cup milk (adjust for sauce consistency)
Salt & black pepper to taste
Fresh parsley (chopped, for garnish)
Substitution Tips: Swap rotini with penne or fettuccine if desired. Use half-and-half instead of cream for a lighter option. Vegan Parmesan and coconut cream work great for dairy-free swaps.
