Description

A creamy and spicy pasta dish with chicken, jalapeños, and cajun seasoning.


Ingredients

Scale
  • 12 oz (340g) pasta (fettuccine, penne, or any pasta of your choice)
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 1 lb (450g) chicken breast, boneless and skinless, cut into bite-sized pieces
  • 2 tablespoons cajun seasoning
  • 3-4 fresh jalapeños, sliced (remove seeds for less heat)
  • 3 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 cup heavy cream
  • ½ cup chicken broth
  • 1 cup grated Parmesan cheese
  • 1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice
  • Salt and black pepper, to taste
  • Fresh parsley, chopped (for garnish)

Instructions

  1. Cook pasta according to package instructions. Drain and set aside.
  2. Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add chicken and cajun seasoning. Cook until chicken is browned and cooked through, about 5-7 minutes.
  3. Add jalapeños and garlic. Sauté for 1-2 minutes until fragrant.
  4. Pour in heavy cream and chicken broth. Stir and bring to a simmer.
  5. Reduce heat to low. Add Parmesan cheese and lemon juice. Stir until cheese melts and sauce thickens.
  6. Season with salt and black pepper to taste.
  7. Add cooked pasta to the skillet. Toss to coat evenly.
  8. Garnish with fresh parsley before serving.

Notes

  • Adjust jalapeño quantity for desired spiciness.
  • Substitute half-and-half for heavy cream if needed.
  • Freshly grated Parmesan works best for a smoother sauce.
