Ingredients:
- 1 lb chicken breast, cut into bite-sized pieces
- 2 tbsp Cajun seasoning
- 1 tsp salt (adjust to taste)
- 1 tsp black pepper
- 4 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 sweet red pepper, diced
- 12 oz penne noodles
- 1 cup shredded Italian cheese blend
- 1 cup shredded pepper jack cheese
- 2 tbsp butter
- 2 cups heavy whipping cream
- 2 cups broccoli florets, steamed
Preparation:
Start by seasoning the chicken breast generously with Cajun seasoning, salt, and pepper. Heat a large skillet over medium-high heat and cook the chicken with diced red peppers until fully cooked and slightly charred. Set aside.
In a separate pot, bring water to a boil and cook the penne noodles according to package instructions. Drain and set aside.
In the same skillet used for the chicken, melt butter over medium heat. Add minced garlic and sauté until fragrant, about 1 minute. Pour in the heavy whipping cream and bring to a gentle simmer. Gradually add the shredded Italian and pepper jack cheeses, stirring continuously until the sauce is smooth and creamy. Season with additional salt and pepper to taste.
Combine the cooked penne noodles, steamed broccoli, and Cajun chicken into the creamy Alfredo sauce. Toss everything together until well coated. Serve hot and enjoy this rich, flavorful Cajun Chicken Alfredo with Broccoli!
