Ingredients
  

For the Easy Velveeta Cajun Chicken Alfredo Rotini
  • 1 lb rotini pasta
  • 1 lb boneless, skinless chicken breasts cut into bite-sized pieces
  • 2 tbsp Cajun seasoning
  • 2 tbsp olive oil
  • 1 cup heavy cream
  • 8 oz Velveeta cheese
  • 1 cup Parmesan cheese grated

Equipment

  • Large Skillet
  • Large Pot

Method
 

  1. Step 1: Start by cooking the rotini pasta according to the package instructions. Once cooked, drain it and set it aside. It’s always a good idea to save a little pasta water in case you want to thin the sauce later!
  2. Step 2: In a large skillet, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the bite-sized chicken pieces and sprinkle them with the Cajun seasoning. Cook until the chicken is no longer pink, about 5-7 minutes.
  3. Step 3: Now, reduce the heat to low. Stir in the heavy cream and Velveeta cheese. Cook until the cheese is melted and the mixture becomes smooth and creamy.
  4. Step 4: Add the cooked rotini pasta to the skillet and toss to combine. Stir in the grated Parmesan cheese. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
  5. Step 5: Serve immediately, garnished with chopped parsley for that lovely fresh touch.

Notes

Leftovers? No problem! Store any uneaten pasta in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 3 days. Just reheat gently on the stove or in the microwave, adding a splash of milk or cream to loosen the sauce if needed.
