Cajun Chicken Alfredo

The other day my mom texted me a photo and said YUMMM!  She had ordered the Cajun Chicken Alfredo at a restaurant and said it was the ‘best thing she has ever eaten in her life’  So of course I took this as a personal challenge :-) 

Um yeah.  This turned out amazing.  This was a great dish to do the chopping and slicing ahead of time.  Then dinner came together in less than half an hour.  It turned out even better than the restaurant version!  We will DEFINITELY be adding this to our regular dinner rotation!!!! Also, this is a mild. family friendly version of Cajun chicken alfredo.  If you want more heat, by all means, increase the creole seasoning, or add some cayenne or red pepper flakes! 

Ingredients

• 2 tsp Tony Chachere's creole seasoning
