30-Minute Cajun Chicken And Broccoli Alfredo

Instructions

1. 1
   Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Cook pasta according to package direction; add broccoli florets during the last 3 minutes. Drain and set aside.
2. 2
   Toss chicken slices with Cajun seasoning until well coated.
3. 3
   Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add chicken and cook for 4-6 minutes, stirring to brown all sides and ensure cooked through. Remove to a plate.
4. 4
   In the same skillet, melt butter over medium heat. Add garlic and sauté for 30 seconds until fragrant.
5. 5
   Pour in heavy cream and milk. Simmer gently for 2-3 minutes, stirring until slightly thickened.
6. 6
   Stir in Parmesan cheese, salt, and pepper. Whisk until smooth and creamy.
7. 7
   Add the cooked pasta, broccoli, and chicken back into the pan. Toss gently to coat everything in the sauce, adding a splash of reserved pasta water if you prefer a looser sauce.
8. 8
   Taste and adjust seasoning, then garnish with parsley and additional Parmesan. Serve immediately.
