HOW TO MAKE CAJUN CHICKEN AND BROCCOLI ALFREDO?

  1. Cook penne until al dente, according to package directions. Remove pasta from the pot with a slotted spoon and reserve cooking water. Once cooked, drizzle pasta with a little olive oil to prevent it from sticking and save.
  2. Return pasta water to a boil, and add broccoli florets. Cook just until tender but not mushy, about two minutes. Drain and plunge florets into ice water to stop the cooking process and help them retain their bright green color
  3. Coat the chicken with cajun seasoning and heat oil in a large skillet. Saute chicken, turning once until fully cooked. Transfer to a plate and reserve. Preheat oven to 350F.
  4. To make the sauce: wipe the skillet used to cook the chicken with a paper towel, return to the stove and melt butter over medium heat until bubbly. Add garlic and cook for 30 seconds
  5. Pour wine into the skillet and simmer until reduced by half. Whisk in cream and simmer until thickened, about two minutes. Add Parmesan cheese and mix until melted
  6. Mix sauce into reserved pasta until well combined
  7. Pour pasta into a 9 x 13-inch baking dish and top with chicken and broccoli florets. Top with Parmesan cheese and bake for 20 mins until heated through

CAN YOU FREEZE CAJUN CHICKEN AND BROCCOLI ALFREDO?

You can, for up to 3 months. When you’re ready to eat it, let it thaw completely and add ¼ cup of milk before reheating covered in foil, in the oven.

HOMEMADE ALFREDO SAUCE TIPS:

  1. You can add anything to your alfredo sauce to change its flavor. You can add cooked bacon, herbs, or different types of cheese.
  2. Do not skip the white wine. It gives it a great flavor and the alcohol cooks off.
  3. Do not let it cook down too much or it will be too thick to coat your pasta.
  4. If you want an extra punch of flavor for this recipe, add a tsp of cajun seasoning.
