How to Make Red Lobster Cajun Chicken Pasta

  1. In a bowl or resealable bag, combine 1 lb boneless, skinless chicken breasts with 2 tablespoons Cajun seasoning. Toss to coat evenly.
  2. In a large skillet over medium heat, melt 2 tablespoons butter. Add the chicken and cook until almost tender, about 5-7 minutes per side.
  3. Reduce heat to low. Pour in 1 cup heavy cream and 1 teaspoon salt, 1/2 teaspoon black pepper, and 1/4 teaspoon garlic powder. Stir to combine and heat through.
  4. Add 1 lb cooked pasta (penne, rotini, or your favorite shape) to the skillet. Toss gently to coat the pasta in the creamy Cajun sauce.
  5. Heat through for 2-3 minutes, ensuring the pasta is heated and coated.
  6. Sprinkle with 1/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese (optional).
  7. Taste and adjust Cajun seasoning to your preferred spice level. Serve immediately and enjoy!
