I have the perfect chicken recipe for you today!

Easy, Tasty, and Quick, that’s what my Cajun Chicken Alfredo is all about.

The wonderful people at Perdue Farms were kind enough to send me their PERDUE® PERFECT PORTIONS® Boneless, Skinless Chicken Thighs for recipe development.

My Mesquite Grilled Chicken Nachos using Perdue Farms Perfect Portions Mesquite Marinated Chicken Breast are beyond delicious!

First, saute the seasoned chicken in extra virgin olive oil for 4 minutes on each side.

Next, add the vegetables and cook a few minutes more.

While the chicken is cooking don’t forget to start making the cream sauce.

It’s really simple, take heavy cream, tomato sauce, and seasonings, bring to boil, reduce heat, and stir in cheeses.

Lastly, add the chicken broth and cheese sauce to cooked chicken, simmer for about 5 minutes.

Stir in cooked pasta, mix well, and cook Cajun Chicken Alfredo for 1 minute more to heat pasta.

I love to serve my Alfredo with extra parmesean cheese on the side.

Don’t forget to garnish with green onions.

All done and ready to dig in!

Enjoy.
