Which Brands Did I Use For This Cajun Alfredo Chicken Pasta?

Sometimes when it comes to Semihomemade recipe that use packaged foods to create meals, the brands of items can make or break a dish. I don’t think this ALWAYS happens but I do know that not all packaged items are created equally.

Penne pasta- Any brand will work

Alfredo sauce– We use Bertolli Alfredo Sauce with Aged Parmesan Cheese. This is my favorite jar alfredo but you can always make homemade!

Cajun seasoning – Louisiana Fish Fry Cajun Seasoning

Mozzarella cheese– I used Kraft Creamy Melt Mozzarella

Cooked diced chicken – You can use any leftover chicken, but to make these super easy, I like to use the Perdue Grilled Chicken Strips or the Tyson Cooked Grilled Chicken Breast Strips. 4 cups cooked diced chicken is about 12 chicken tenders cooked and chopped. I like to use chicken tenderloins for this recipe because they cook up quickly while the pasta cooks.

How To Make Cajun Alfredo Chicken Pasta:

To start, bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Once the water is vigorously boiling, add the pasta of your choice.
Cook the pasta according to the package instructions until it reaches al dente perfection. This usually takes around 8 to 10 minutes.
In a large skillet or large sauce pan, combine the alfredo sauce and Cajun Seasoning.
*Remember, if you don’t normally cook with cajun seasoning, add a little at a time and taste as you go.
Add in cooked chicken and mozzarella cheese and stir well.
When pasta is done cooking, add drained pasta to sauce and stir well!
