Creamy Sweet & Spicy Cajun Chicken Pasta

    1. Boil the pasta:
      Cook your pasta in salted boiling water until al dente. Drain and set aside.
  1. Cook the chicken:
    Toss the chicken slices with Cajun seasoning. Heat olive oil in a skillet over medium-high heat and sear the chicken until golden and cooked through, about 6–8 minutes. Remove and set aside.
  2. Make the sauce:
    In the same skillet, sauté the minced garlic until fragrant (about 30 seconds). Pour in the heavy cream, honey, and red pepper flakes. Simmer for 3–4 minutes, stirring often.
  3. Cheese it up:
    Stir in the Parmesan until melted and smooth. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
  4. Bring it together:
    Add the cooked pasta and chicken back to the skillet. Toss everything to coat in that luscious sauce.
  5. Serve & enjoy:
    Garnish with extra Parmesan, parsley, or a drizzle of hot honey for an added kick!
