Instructions

1. Slice chicken breasts horizontally to create cutlets. Season both sides with Cajun seasoning.

2. Dredge each cutlet in a mixture of breadcrumbs and Parmesan.

3. Heat olive oil in a skillet over medium heat. Cook chicken 4–5 minutes per side until golden and cooked through. Set aside.

4. Boil rotini in salted water until al dente. Drain and set aside.

5. In a large pan, melt butter and sauté garlic until fragrant. Add heavy cream and bring to a simmer.

6. Stir in mozzarella gradually until sauce is smooth and melted.

7. Toss cooked pasta into the sauce. Stir in chopped parsley.

8. Slice the cooked chicken and serve over the creamy pasta. Garnish as desired.

Notes

Use freshly grated mozzarella for the best melt and creaminess.

Don’t overcook the chicken—crispy edges and juicy centers are the goal!
