Velveeta Chicken Alfredo Linguine in Creamy Cajun Parmesan is a bold, cheesy pasta dish featuring Cajun-spiced chicken and linguine tossed in a rich sauce made with Velveeta and parmesan. It’s a spicy, creamy twist on the classic Alfredo.

Ingredients

  1. 2 boneless, skinless chicken breasts
  2. 2 tablespoons Cajun seasoning
  3. 1 tablespoon olive oil
  4. 2 tablespoons butter
  5. 3 cloves garlic, minced
  6. 12 oz linguine pasta
  7. 1 cup Velveeta cheese, cubed
  8. 1/2 cup grated parmesan cheese
  9. 1 cup heavy cream or whole milk
  10. Salt and black pepper, to taste
  11. 1 tablespoon fresh parsley, chopped (for garnish)

Instructions

Cook the linguine according to package instructions until al dente. Drain and set aside.

  1. Slice the chicken breasts into strips or bite-sized pieces and season generously with Cajun seasoning.
  2. Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Sear the chicken until golden and fully cooked, about 6–8 minutes. Remove and set aside.
  3. In the same skillet, reduce heat to medium and melt butter. Add minced garlic and sauté for 1–2 minutes until fragrant.
  4. Pour in the heavy cream and bring to a gentle simmer.
  5. Add the Velveeta cubes and stir until completely melted into the cream.
  6. Stir in grated parmesan and mix until the sauce is smooth and thickened. Season with salt and black pepper to taste.
  7. Return the cooked chicken to the pan, stirring to coat it in the sauce.
  8. Add the cooked linguine and toss until fully coated in the creamy Cajun cheese sauce.
  9. Garnish with chopped parsley and serve hot.

Notes

  • Use thighs instead of breasts for juicier chicken.
  • Adjust the Cajun seasoning to suit your spice preference.
  • Add a splash of milk or cream when reheating to maintain sauce consistency.
  • For extra cheesiness, add shredded mozzarella along with the parmesan.
  • This dish is best enjoyed fresh—dairy-based sauces may separate if frozen.
