Let's get Started.

Wait...Please, Wash your Hands.

Okay, now we are ready to start! 

Let's start wth our Cajun Chicken. Place the Chicken into a hollow dish or bowl. Lightly sprinkle the Chicken breast with the Cajun seasoning over breast. Gently pat the seasoning on to the Chicken. Place a medium or large saute-pan on medium high heat.  Lightly drizzle oil in to the pan. Once the pan is hot, gently set the seasoned Chicken breast into the pan.  Cook for 3-5 minutes on both sides until golden brown. After both sides are golden brown, place the Chicken into the oven on 375 degrees for 10-15 minutes. 

**Chef Huda Note: Your Chicken my take longer or shorter to cook depending on the size of the Chicken breast.  

While our Cajun Chicken is cooking let's get started on our Rotini Pasta & Creamy Alfredo Sauce.  Place a Large pot of water to boil, once the water boils, add in pasta.  Continue to follow the cooking directions on the Pasta box. While the Cajun Chicken & Rotini Pasta are finishing up. Let's get started on my favorite part of this whole dish the Creamy Alfredo Sauce.

In a medium or large saucepan over medium heat melt the Butter. Once the Butter is melted add the Heavy cream and whisk. Please Do not burn the Cream. Slowly add Parmesan cheese (in parts) and whisk. As the cheese melts and mixes into the sauce , the sauce will start to thicken. Add, in fresh parsley and salt and pepper to taste and continue to whisk. Reduce the heat to low and let the sauce set for 2-3mins. 

Once the Cajun Chicken is done remove from pan and set aside for 3-5 minutes. 

Place the empty Chicken pan onto the stove over medium heat. Add oil and a few drops of water, Cherry tomatoes and Bell peppers. Cover the pan and let the veggies cook for 7-10 minutes.  Once the Veggies cookdown stir and taste the Veggies. Feel fee to season the Veggies lightly with salt and pepper. 

**Chef Huda Note: Remember the Veggies are going into the Creamy Alfredo Sauce. Please do not over Salt or season.
