Cajun Chicken Spaghetti

A while back I made Cajun Shrimp Pasta and I have been craving it ever since.  However, I was to lazy to head out to the store so I recreated it with ingredients I had on hand.  The chicken was amazing all by itself and the cream sauce is delightful.  My husband and I both loved it and will definitely indulge in it again.

 

Ingredients:

• 1/2 box thin spaghetti
• 2 chicken breasts, cubed
• 1 1/4 cup chicken broth
• 1/2 cup heavy cream
• 1 cup mozzarella cheese, shredded
• 2 1/2 teaspoons Cajun seasoning
• 1 tablespoon butter
• 1 tablespoon flour
• 1/4 teaspoon pepper
• 1/4 teaspoon paprika
• 1 tablespoon olive oil
•  Tabasco, to taste

 

Directions: Cook spaghetti according to package directions.  In a large bowl add chicken, 2 teaspoons Cajun seasoning, paprika and pepper.  Stir chicken until all pieces are completely coated.  In a large skillet over medium heat add olive oil and saute chicken while slowly adding 1/4 cup chicken broth.  When chicken is cooked through set aside.  In skillet melt butter and stir in flour, forming a roux.  Slowly whisk in remaining chicken broth and heavy cream.  Bring to a boil and remove from heat.  Whisk in cheese and add Tabasco.  Toss in spaghetti and top with chicken!
