Cajun Chicken Alfredo

December 30, 2018 By Jenny

Cajun Chicken Alfredo

I love Alfredo! Everything tastes better in a creamy butter and Parmesan cheese sauce. The Cajun seasoning adds a spicy kick to the sauce and there is nothing much better than that. This is one of my very favorite recipes of all time, and since it is the season for over indulgence, I thought it might be a good time to share it. In the original recipe there were also mushrooms and if you like them, they would probably be a good addition to this as well. You can find the original recipe here: Cajun Chicken Pasta

There isn’t much prep work and the dish comes together pretty quickly so it is good for an easy week night dinner and it is delicious enough for a special occasion. Add some bread sticks or garlic toast and a salad for a complete meal.

Although, I was eating it right out of the skillet and that was pretty darn delicious.
