How to make One Pot Cajun Chicken Alfredo
Step 1: With salt and pepper, season the chicken. Heat the olive oil in a large cooking pot with a lid over medium-high heat. Once the oil is hot, brown the chicken. Then, add the sausage and cook further until lightly browned.
Step 2: To the pot, add the garlic. Stir and continue to cook for another 2 minutes.
Step 3: Now, pour in the chicken broth and heavy cream. Add the dried pasta and Cajun seasoning. Stir well and bring the mixture to simmer over medium-high heat.
Step 4: Adjust the heat to low, cover the pot, and cook for additional 15 to 20 minutes or until the pasta is tender. When done, take the pot off the heat. Add the Parmesan cheese and stir to combine.
Step 5: Lastly, stir in the chopped parsley. To taste, sprinkle with extra Cajun seasoning if desired.
