Ingredients
  • 1 1/2 lbs chicken breast, cubed
  • • 2 Tbsp olive oil
  • • 1/4 cup butter
  • • 4 large cloves garlic, minced
  • • 1/2 cup chopped red pepper
  • • 4 ounces light cream cheese, very soft
  • • 370 ml light evaporated milk
  • • 1/2 cup 1% milk
  • • 1/2 tsp salt
  • • 1/4 tsp ground black pepper
  • • 1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese
  • • 1-2 Tbsp Cajun seasoning (depends on how hot you like it)
  • • 1 lb corn spaghetti (or pasta of your choice)
Instructions
  1. In a large frying pan over medium-high heat, fry the chicken in the olive oil until cooked. Add the butter, garlic, and red pepper. Continue frying, stirring occasionally, for approximately 4-5 minutes.
  2. Add the softened cream cheese, and stir until it has melted. Add the evaporated milk, milk, salt and pepper. Continue stirring and cooking until the sauce becomes smooth.
  3. Add the Parmesan cheese and Cajun seasoning. Stir until cheese has melted. Simmer, stirring occasionally, for 10 minutes, or until the pasta is ready.
  4. Cook the spaghetti according to package directions. Drain, but do not rinse.
  5. Return pasta to the pot it was cooked in, and pour the Cajun Alfredo sauce over it. Toss to evenly coat the pasta, and to evenly distribute the chicken and red pepper.
  6. Serve immediately.
