Step 1: Boil Pasta: Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil and cook bowtie pasta until al dente. Drain, drizzle lightly with olive oil, and set aside.
Step 2: Sear Chicken: In a deep skillet, melt 2 tablespoons of butter with olive oil. Add chicken and season with Cajun seasoning, garlic powder, onion powder, Italian seasoning, and black pepper. Cook until golden and juicy, about 5–7 minutes. Remove and set aside.
Step 3: Make Sauce: In the same pan, add remaining butter and minced garlic. Sauté until fragrant, then pour in chicken broth, heavy cream, Velveeta, cream cheese, and mozzarella. Stir continuously until smooth and creamy.
Step 4: Combine: Return the cooked chicken to the skillet, add pasta, and toss to coat evenly. Sprinkle in Parmesan, stirring until melted.
Step 5: Serve: Serve immediately while warm. Garnish with extra Parmesan and fresh herbs if desired.
