One Pot Cajun Chicken Alfredo

Used my wok with its lid, heavy whipping cream, used 1 cup less of the low sodium chicken broth because of the cream type - stirred pasta twice during 15 min. cook time for evenly cooked pasta , and made my own Cajun seasoning using ingredients listed in the beginning section of the article. Parmeson cheese: I used the aldis version of shredded parm that comes in a 5oz container. 15 min mark shook the whole thing evenly on top and covered until the 20 mark. When I took the lid back off, the cheese melted down pretty well. Then, immediately after turning off the heat, I stirred in the cheese, and the whole thing came together nicely. Really enjoyed this one!

I used water instead of the chicken broth just because the other comments stated it was too salty and it still tasted great!

Everyone liked it

Yummy

Family enjoyed this meal. To cut back on salt make your own Cajun season mix or buy a reduced sodium.

I wouldn't make this again. It's too salty. I didn't add any extra salt, but between the chicken broth, sausage, cajun seasoning, and cheese it's too much sodium.

Made the instant pot version of this (that recipe link is in this recipe). It came out VERY salty for my liking, with little other flavor (and I added extra cajun spice at the end). :-( The pasta came out properly cooked, but the saltiness was just too much. I'll try this again with homemade cajun spice mix where I leave out the salt.

Very nice!

2 cups stock and 1 cup cream for 2 serves

Sooo yummy! Added swiss chard and bell peppers!

I baked chicken and sliced it https://s.samsungfood.com/3pHmM Added chicken and drippings to sauteed sausage and garlic. Stirred in seasoning. Deglazed with ½ cup white wine and let reduce before adding heavy cream and then parmesan. I cooked pasta separately and added to finished sauce. Served with steamed broccoli and a nice baguette.

Had so much flavor compared to most pasta dishes! Maybe would add broccoli next time!

This was a win for everyone, all 6 of us!! Young and Old (me) The whole table requested I make this at LEAST once a month. This meal was easy, delicious, and finance friendly!

Let the heavy cream mixture thicken and maybe use less chicken broth, my soup was so watery I couldn't get it to thicken at all. I added extra cheese and salt and pepper, it was very bland at first.

Easy and delicious! I either added too much salt or the bouillon I used was too much. But other than it being a bit salty, it was really good! I think it would be good with broccoli in or on the side.

It is good, but I would add onions, red pepper flakes, spinach for more flavor. It's not popping as some of the others but if you need to cook bulk in a hurry. This is definitely a staple. Doubled the recipe and was done same amount of time

So good. This will be a go-to in my house

Simple and delicious! I think next time I won’t use as much chicken broth because I don’t use as much pasta, and I think it made the meal less creamy. I highly recommend this recipe!

Made without chicken, delicious! Subbed some whole milk for cream & was a touch watery, add thickener next time

Probably needs more Cajun seasoning. Not as creamy as I hoped, but still good. I found the time being a little too short for the noodles to cook (try 20-25). I’d also recommend either less oil or clean the pan before adding other ingredients.

Very tasty! The whole family enjoyed it and my girls are very fussy.

We added a half cup of cheese to thicken the sauce. It was very good and we will be making it in the future.

It was honestly a fantastic meal. Me and my buds enjoyed it

I give it a thumbs up! I didn't make it perfectly, so it didn't come out perfectly, but I plan on trying again. The only thing I forsee is that the pasta isn't quite "saucy" enough - maybe a little less chicken stock and a little more heavy cream might balance it. I ended up using Creole seasoning (only stuff I could find), which I used too much of since the packaging said, "Use like salt." 😅 Don't make the same mistake I did! Also, might sub chicken for shrimp.

Is super yummy...couldn't find just heavy cream so I used heavy whipping cream and even at that I only had a pint (2 cups) and used it, also used grated parmesan cheese as I had an abundance of it and did not have shredded parmesan. Still turned out great and will definitely be a repeat in my home. I would suggest if you have a moderate sized family or one like mine (3 males with healthy appetites and myself) then make a double batch. For my family it was only enough for one meal and no seconds but it's pretty filling too.

Added brocolli and more cheese than it called for, but it will definitely be on the regular rotation!

Super delicious. Easy to make. We did cajun smoked sausage. It just added that extra cajun flavor.

Yummy! Didn’t have the parsley but still good. Did take a bit longer than the 30mins but I’d still make it again.

Replace cream with evaporated milk Sub canned chicken Reduce overall liquid by 8oz

Very simple to make, and easy to get out of the everyday meals. Made with store bought shedded cheese and used heavy whipping cream, and it came out just fine! Will have fun playing with the recipe and added ingredients.

Adults loved this, the kids thought it was too spicy. I cooked the chicken and sausage in some of the Cajun seasoning and added diced vidalia onion. Used bow tie pasta. I measured with my heart with the rest of the seasoning and the cheese. Also recommend simmering with lid off so liquid will cook down some. Possibilities are endless with add-ins. In the future I think I will add some shrimp, mushrooms, diced bell peppers, and spinach to name a few.

Added mushrooms and broccoli to ours. A new house favorite 🖤

So good! I didn't have any penne so I used angel hair and cooked it for less time. I will say though, do not cook it with the lid on. I think that's why some people's are not thickening. The lid on makes it mushy and soupy since the water cannot evaporate. Overall so good though!

I added spinach. I also used blackening seasoning for the chicken then added some to the sauce as well.

Used shredded chicken instead and added lots of seasoning, was very good :)

I added cherry tomatoes as well as some mozzarella with the Parm and it turned out good!

Added 1/2 chopped onion and diced red pepper before frying chicken, very tasty

Delicious! I used chicken breasts instead of a whole chicken and added WAY more cheese. Put a piece of bread at the bottom of my bowl and dug in:)

The dish was absolutely delightful. I had to put my own twist on it. So, I added some bell peppers and spinach so we could have veggies. Everything else I followed to the letter. It was great!

This was amazing! We aren’t big meat eaters, so I didn’t add the meats. But it was still great!

My kids don’t like the sausage, but my god is this good!!!

Omitted the chicken and just did the sausage. Reminded me of home. Very yummy. Our picky toddler even liked it!

It's one of my favorite go-to's. I'm not sure if im just under prepared or the times are wrong. But either way, it's a household favorite. Edited to add: For a side I use PAN FRIED garlic bread. Perfect combo!

Delicious! The children loved it too and they are always suspicious if pasta is not tomato-colour 💯 Measures were a rough guess for 1/4 of recipe but still came out great. Easy to adjust ie more cream/stock/cajun to taste. Didn’t use heavy cream either, just double.

Pretty good recipe but a few notes I say is go a lil more with the Cajun and roll back the cheese a lil' the richness and taste of it kinda overpowers the Cajun spices a bit.

The milk curdled even though it was on low and it never cooked down.

So good. As is, not super spicy.

We love Cajun food I’m out home so this hit the spot. Seasoned it more after it was done for the adults and kept it mellow on the spice for the kids. Made enough for our household (2 adults 4 kids) with a little leftover

Only thing I did different was to cook the pasta separately. Delicious meal!

Instant staple over here! Only thing I did different was use rotini instead of penne, cut my sausage (andouille) into smaller pieces and used who knows how much garlic. Lol Heavy whipping cream is the same as heavy cream. (36% milk fat or higher). Fantastic recipe! Easy to make, literally one pot, plenty of leftovers, solid winner!!

Absolute hit! Will definitely become a go-to!

I measured the cheese and seasonings with my heart, also added some smoked paprika and used rotisserie chicken breast. It was delicious and cheesy!! Will be making again!

Used mini bowtie pasta. I only had heavy whipping cream but it didn't seem to make a difference. Came out very good with a good amount of spice. Husband and 5 year old approved.

It was very easy, in the future I won't use sausage, just too heavy with this sauce

Definitely going to try cutting this recipe in half for my family of 2.5 😅

Next time, I'll 86 the chicken and double the sausage. And double the Cajun seasoning. Make sure to use the biggest pot.

Yeah—what Brad said! This recipe was okay, but it’s nothing I’m going to lose my mind about. okay also lowercase here. Like—cabbage hotdish is also “okay”…y’a know? Anyways, we made it lactose free which is a lot harder than it should be. I may alter the recipe and spice it up as well as make a roux instead because heavy whipping cream is a no no. More likely though I probably just won’t ever make this again. Why waste time when there are better recipes out there?

This recipe needs work, yes it was easy but it had issues with the seasoning.

Delicious!! New recipe added to the favorites list. I did make my own cajun seasoning blend, I feel like it's an easy way to add a personal touch if you have the right spices in your cabinet. Will definitely make again 😋

Used 1TBSP Cajun seasoning, and 2 chicken breasts

Didn't have Cajun seasoning mix on hand so I used salt, pepper, granulated onion, parsley, basil, thyme, paprika and cayenne. I added a dash of msg for more savory flavor, as well as a teaspoon or two of old bay. Used less cream than was asked, 2 cups instead of 2.5. and the sauce and noodles came out perfectly despite having less overall liquid.

Came out amazing!!

This was so good and super easy.

We have made this dish 2 times now, once with chicken, once w/o chicken. Honestly, we like it better w/o. I don't remember using a full quart of chicken broth, it felt like too much. I added some Kick'n Chicken spice (you can do red pepper flakes too). Highly recommend!

I guess I put too much chicken broth, it was like soup 😅 But it tasted good, will adjust the ingredients and try it again 👍

i added crushed red pepper and it made it perfect!

LOVE this recipe. Super yummy but can be pretty heavy so you'll have to save your calories elsewhere! I skip the chicken and do chicken apple sausage only. Turns out VERY well. One of mine and my boyfriend's favorites.

very rich. decent macro balance. absolutely delicious.

Super yummy but you’re going to have to spend an hour or two in the gym to work off the calories from this dish!!

Good Alfredo, Cajun seasoning I ended up getting wasn’t very flavorful so didn’t get the full effect. This would be good without the Cajun seasoning as well and adding a veggie of some kind such as broccoli, peppers, jalapeños, etc.
