I have been seeing “cajun/spicy chipotle” type pasta dishes online and decided to make my version of my creamy cajun pasta with chicken. This dish is super flavorful and creamy. The cajun seasoning was just right and not overpowering. I also thought this dish tasted similar to Cheesecake Factory’s Louisiana chicken pasta. This was a crowd pleaser with my friends and I hope it will be for yours! Please like this video, it will help distribute this video throughout youtube. I appreciate all of your support!
