Instructions:

Cook the Pasta:

Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil and cook the pasta according to package instructions. Drain and set aside.

Cook the Chicken:

Make the Sauce:

Stir in the heavy cream and bring the mixture to a simmer. Gradually whisk in the grated Parmesan cheese until the sauce becomes thick and creamy. Season with salt and pepper to taste.

Add the cooked chicken and pasta back into the skillet, tossing everything together until well coated in the creamy Cajun sauce.
