Print Recipe

A creamy, cheesy one-skillet dish that combines rotini pasta with Cajun seasoned chicken and a flavorful garlic sauce, ready in just 30 minutes.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 boneless, skinless chicken breasts, cut into bite-sized chunks
  • 12 oz rotini pasta
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 2 tablespoons Cajun seasoning
  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon onion powder
  • Salt and pepper, to taste
  • 4 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 tablespoon butter
  • 1 cup heavy cream
  • 1/2 cup chicken broth
  • 1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
  • 1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese
  • 1/2 cup shredded cheddar cheese
  • Fresh parsley, chopped (for garnish)

Instructions

  1. Cook the pasta in a large pot of salted water according to the package instructions until al dente. Drain and set aside.
  2. In a large skillet, heat olive oil over medium-high heat. Toss the chicken with Cajun seasoning, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and pepper. Cook the chicken until browned and fully cooked through, about 6–7 minutes. Remove from skillet and set aside.
  3. In the same skillet, melt butter and sauté the minced garlic for 1 minute. Pour in chicken broth and heavy cream, bringing it to a gentle simmer. Stir in mozzarella, Parmesan, and cheddar cheeses until smooth.
  4. Add the cooked rotini and chicken back into the skillet, tossing to coat in the sauce. Let simmer for 2–3 minutes to meld flavors.
  5. Garnish with fresh parsley and serve hot.

Notes

Storage: Can be stored in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 3 days. Reheat gently. Add a splash of cream or broth if necessary.
