Instructions
1. Cook the spaghetti
Boil pasta until al dente. Drain and set aside.
2. Cook the chicken
Season chicken with Cajun seasoning.
Cook in a skillet with oil until done, then shred or cube.
(You can use rotisserie chicken to save time.)
3. Make the creamy Cajun Velveeta Alfredo sauce
-
In the same skillet, melt butter.
-
Add onion and bell pepper; cook until soft.
-
Add garlic and cook 1 minute.
-
Stir in Cajun seasoning, Rotel (optional), and chicken broth.
-
Pour in heavy cream.
-
Add Velveeta cubes and stir until melted and smooth.
-
Add half the mozzarella and let it melt into the sauce.
-
Taste and adjust seasoning (more Cajun, salt, or pepper).
4. Combine everything
-
Add shredded chicken to the sauce.
-
Add the cooked spaghetti and toss to coat.
5. Bake (optional but AMAZING)
Transfer to a baking dish.
Top with extra mozzarella.
Bake at 350°F (175°C) for 15–20 minutes until bubbly and lightly golden.
Tips
-
Add spinach or mushrooms for extra flavor.
-
Use smoked sausage instead of chicken for Cajun-style variation.
-
Add an extra splash of cream for an even silkier sauce.
-
Spice level = easy to adjust: add cayenne or jalapeños for heat.
