Ingredients

2 boneless skinless chicken breasts

2 tablespoons Cajun seasoning

12 ounces spaghetti

4 cloves garlic, minced

2 tablespoons butter

1 cup heavy cream

1 ½ cups shredded mozzarella cheese

¼ cup grated Parmesan cheese

2 tablespoons chopped fresh parsley

1 tablespoon olive oil

Salt and pepper to taste

Instructions

1. Season both sides of chicken breasts with Cajun seasoning, salt, and pepper.

2. Heat olive oil in a skillet over medium-high heat. Sear chicken for 5–6 minutes per side until fully cooked. Set aside to rest.

3. Bring a pot of salted water to a boil. Cook spaghetti until al dente, then drain.

4. In the same skillet, reduce heat and melt butter. Add minced garlic and sauté for 30 seconds.

5. Pour in heavy cream, bringing it to a gentle simmer. Gradually stir in mozzarella and Parmesan until smooth.

6. Add the cooked spaghetti to the sauce, tossing to coat thoroughly. Let it simmer for another minute to thicken.

7. Slice the rested chicken thinly.

8. Plate the pasta and top with sliced chicken.

9. Garnish with chopped parsley and serve hot.

Notes

Let the chicken rest before slicing to retain its juices.

If the sauce is too thick, loosen it with a splash of pasta water or milk.

Use freshly shredded cheese for best texture and smooth melting.
