Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 lb boneless skinless chicken breasts
  • 12 oz rotini pasta
  • 1 cup heavy cream
  • 1 cup whole milk
  • 6 oz Velveeta cheese
  • 1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
  • 1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese
  • 3 tablespoons unsalted butter
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil

Instructions

  1. Cook the rotini in boiling salted water until al dente (9-11 minutes). Reserve ½ cup pasta water, drain, and set aside.

  4. Mix in mozzarella and Parmesan; simmer until thickened (3-5 minutes) and adjust seasoning.
  5. Combine cooked rotini with sauce; add reserved pasta water if needed.
  6. Create a Cajun butter drizzle by melting remaining butter mixed with Cajun seasoning.
  7. Serve pasta topped with chicken and drizzle over the sauce, garnished with parsley.
