This dish is best served immediately while it’s warm and creamy.
Leftovers can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. To reheat, warm gently in a skillet over low heat or microwave in 30-second intervals. Add a splash of milk or cream to restore the sauce’s consistency.
If you prefer a spicier version, feel free to add more Cajun seasoning or extra crushed red pepper flakes to the sauce.
Variations
Add Vegetables: Toss in some sautéed bell peppers, onions, or spinach to add more flavor and nutrition to the dish.
Shrimp Cajun Alfredo: Substitute the chicken for shrimp, seasoned with Cajun spices, and cook them until tender for a seafood twist.
Vegan Version: Replace the chicken with plant-based protein, use dairy-free butter, and substitute the heavy cream and milk with coconut cream or almond milk for a vegan-friendly alternative.
FAQ
1. Can I use a different type of pasta?
Yes! Feel free to use any pasta shape you like, such as penne, rigatoni, or spaghetti. Just make sure to cook the pasta al dente for the best texture.
2. Can I make this dish spicier?
Absolutely! You can add more Cajun seasoning or a pinch of cayenne pepper to ramp up the heat. Adjust to your spice preference.
3. Can I use store-bought Alfredo sauce?
While homemade Alfredo sauce is easy and delicious, you can use store-bought Alfredo sauce if you’re in a pinch. Just add the Cajun seasoning and any other desired ingredients to give it a personal touch.

This dish is best enjoyed fresh, but you can prepare the Cajun chicken and Alfredo sauce ahead of time. Store them separately in the fridge, and reheat before tossing them with the pasta when you’re ready to serve.
