Step-by-Step Instructions
- Begin by bringing a large pot of salted water to a boil over high heat. Once boiling, add 8 oz of penne pasta and cook for about 10-12 minutes until al dente. Drain the pasta and set aside.
- In a skillet, heat 1 tbsp of olive oil over medium heat. Add in the 1 lb of sliced chicken breast seasoned with 2 tbsp of Cajun seasoning. Cook for approximately 5-7 minutes until browned and cooked through.
- Introduce 1 clove of minced garlic to the skillet with the chicken. Sauté for about 1 minute until fragrant, ensuring not to burn it.
- Pour 2 cups of heavy cream into the skillet, stirring gently. Bring to a gentle simmer and allow to bubble lightly for about 2-3 minutes to thicken.
- Gradually stir in 1 cup of grated Parmesan cheese until melted and smooth. Adjust with salt and pepper as desired.
- Gently toss the cooked penne pasta into the skillet, ensuring it is well coated in the creamy sauce. Stir for another minute to heat through.
- Serve hot, garnished with chopped parsley. Appreciate the presentation before enjoying.
