Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 lb boneless skinless chicken breasts
  • 12 oz linguine pasta
  • 4 cloves garlic
  • 1 cup heavy cream
  • 1 cup whole milk
  • 6 oz Velveeta cheese
  • 1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese

  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 2 tablespoons unsalted butter
  • 1 teaspoon Cajun seasoning
  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder

Instructions

  1. Cook the linguine in boiling salted water until al dente, about 9-11 minutes. Reserve some pasta water before draining.
  2. In a skillet, heat olive oil and butter over medium-high heat. Sear the chicken strips seasoned with Cajun seasoning until golden brown and fully cooked, about 6-8 minutes per side.
  3. In the same skillet, melt butter and sauté minced garlic for 1 minute. Add heavy cream and milk; bring to a gentle simmer.
  4. Stir in Velveeta until melted, then add mozzarella and Parmesan cheese until the sauce is smooth. Adjust with reserved pasta water if necessary.
  5. Toss cooked linguine in the sauce until evenly coated, then serve with chicken on top.
