Return the cooked chicken to the skillet, followed by the cooked pasta. Toss everything together until the pasta is evenly coated in the creamy Cajun sauce and heated through. If the sauce becomes too thick, stir in a little reserved pasta water until it reaches your desired consistency.
5. Serve:
Divide the creamy Cajun chicken pasta into serving bowls. Garnish with freshly chopped parsley and an extra sprinkle of Parmesan for a finishing touch. Serve warm alongside garlic bread or a crisp side salad for a complete, restaurant-worthy meal.
Tips
- Control the Heat: Adjust the amount of Cajun seasoning to your spice preference. For a milder version, reduce the seasoning or mix in a bit of cream cheese to mellow the spice.
- Enhance the Flavor: Add a splash of white wine or squeeze of lemon juice to brighten up the sauce.
- Make It Smoky: Substitute smoked paprika with chipotle powder for a deeper, smokier flavor.
- Storage: Store leftovers in an airtight container for up to 3 days. Reheat gently on the stove with a splash of milk or cream to restore creaminess.
Rich, creamy, and perfectly spiced, this Creamy Cajun Chicken Pasta delivers the ultimate comfort with every bite—bold flavor, tender chicken, and a luxurious sauce that coats every strand of pasta beautifully.
