How to Make Chili's Copycat Cajun Chicken Pasta
- Pat chicken breasts dry and lightly moisten with 2 tablespoons of water.
- In a large resealable plastic bag, combine chicken and 2 tablespoons Cajun seasoning. Seal bag and shake until chicken is evenly coated.
- In a large skillet, melt 2 tablespoons of butter over medium heat. Add chicken and cook, turning occasionally, until browned on both sides and about halfway cooked (about 5-7 minutes).
- While chicken cooks, melt the remaining 2 tablespoons butter in a second large skillet over medium heat. Add heavy cream, garlic powder, onion powder, cayenne pepper (if using), salt, and pepper. Stir occasionally until the sauce begins to bubble and slightly thicken (about 3-5 minutes).
- Add the pasta to the cream sauce and stir to coat. Remove from heat.
- Once chicken is cooked through (internal temperature reaches 165°F), remove from skillet and slice into strips.
- Spoon the pasta and sauce onto serving plates. Top with sliced chicken, diced tomatoes, and Parmesan cheese.
- Serve immediately with a side of garlicky Texas toast (toast slices in a pan with garlic butter until golden brown and crispy).
