One-pot Cajun Chicken Alfredo Orzo: Quick & Creamy Delight

4.0

1 lb Chicken (Diced, can substitute with shrimp or Andouille sausage.)

1 tbsp Cajun Seasoning (Adjust salt and heat levels as preferred.)

1 tsp Smoked Paprika (Regular paprika is a substitute if needed.)

¼ tsp Red Pepper Flakes (Optional for extra heat.)

2 tbsp Olive Oil (For sautéing.)

2 tbsp Butter (Enhances creaminess; add more if desired.)

1 medium Onion (Chopped, yellow or sweet preferred.)

3 cloves Garlic (Minced, for flavor.)

1 cup Orzo Pasta (Main carbohydrate; other small pasta can be substituted.)

2 cups Low-Sodium Chicken Broth (Makes the dish flavorful.)

1 cup Heavy Cream (Can substitute with half and half for a lighter version.)

1 cup Parmesan Cheese (Freshly grated preferred.)

1 tbsp Fresh Parsley (Chopped, for garnish.)

In a large skillet, heat olive oil and butter over medium-high heat. Add diced chicken and season with salt and pepper. Sear until golden brown, about 3-4 minutes.
Remove the chicken and set it aside. In the same skillet, add chopped onions and sauté until translucent, about 2-3 minutes. Stir in minced garlic and cook for an additional minute until fragrant.
Add orzo pasta to the skillet, stirring to combine with the aromatics. Toast for 1-2 minutes until slightly golden.
Pour in the low-sodium chicken broth and sprinkle in Cajun seasoning. Bring to a boil, then reduce heat, cover, and simmer for 10-12 minutes until the orzo is al dente.
Off the heat, gradually stir in the heavy cream and Parmesan cheese until the sauce is creamy and smooth.
Return the chicken to the skillet and heat through for a minute. Adjust seasoning as needed. Garnish with fresh parsley before serving.
