@christopherhopkins1: Cajun Garlic Butter Chicken with Creamy Cheesy Spaghetti Ingredients: 1 1/2 lbs boneless, skinless chicken breasts, cut into thick bite-size pieces 12 oz spaghetti 1 tbsp olive oil 3 tbsp unsalted butter, divided 5 cloves garlic, minced and divided 2 tsp Cajun seasoning 1/2 tsp smoked paprika 1/2 tsp garlic powder 1/2 tsp Italian seasoning 1/2 tsp black pepper 3/4 tsp salt, divided 1 cup heavy whipping cream 1/2 cup whole milk 4 oz cream cheese, softened 3/4 cup shredded mozzarella cheese 3/4 cup freshly grated Parmesan cheese 1/4 cup reserved pasta water, if needed 1 tbsp chopped fresh parsley directions 1. Cook the spaghetti in salted boiling water until al dente. Save 1/4 cup of the pasta water, then drain. 2. Season the chicken with Cajun seasoning, smoked paprika, garlic powder, Italian seasoning, black pepper, and 1/2 teaspoon salt. 3. Heat the olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the chicken and cook for 6 to 8 minutes, turning a few times, until golden brown with lightly crispy edges and cooked through. Add 1 tablespoon butter and 3 cloves of garlic during the last 30 seconds, then toss well. Transfer the chicken to a plate. 4. In the same skillet, melt the remaining 2 tablespoons butter over medium-low heat. Add the rest of the garlic and cook for about 30 seconds. Pour in the heavy cream and milk, then stir in the cream cheese and remaining salt until smooth. 5. Stir in the mozzarella and Parmesan and keep stirring until the sauce turns thick, glossy, and creamy. Add a splash of the reserved pasta water only if needed. 6. Toss the spaghetti in the cheese sauce until every strand is coated. Spoon the cheesy spaghetti onto one side of each plate and arrange the Cajun garlic butter chicken on the other side. Sprinkle with parsley and serve hot. Prep Time: 15 minutes | Cook Time: 20 minutes | Total Time: 35 minutes | Servings: 5 | Calories: Approximately 810 per serving
