CAJUN CHICKEN ALFREDO



Cajun Chicken Alfredo image

This is from Guy's Big Bite, on Food TV. It comes out great, and is similar to the cajun alfredo at Copeland's restaurant, which is now defunct in our area. I used Tony Chachere's creole seasoning because I had it on hand, and cooked the chicken on the grill. I didn't use a cup of seasoning, just sprinked the chicken with less than a tablespoon, and let it set for about a half hour. I used pinot grigio for the wine. I added a pat of butter to the olive oil, and cut back on the garlic, tomatoes, and cream (personal taste). It came out nicely spiced, not too hot. If your finished dish is not spicy enough, just add a few dashes of tabasco sauce. I dumped the chicken and pasta into the pan, and heated it all together before serving.

CAJUN CHICKEN ALFREDO PASTA



Cajun Chicken Alfredo Pasta image

This dish can be made two ways: 1. The easy weeknight throw together way, 2. The good for company restaurant style way. I thought this way extremely spicy, my husband thought it was perfect so, spice to taste. Serve with salad and bread! I made the cream cheese a range, I prefer it with less but have added more to cut the spiciness when making it for both of us, so taste and add as desired.
