ย Directions:
ย In a medium bowl, toss chicken pieces with Cajun seasoning, smoked paprika, garlic powder, and onion powder until well-coated.
ย Heat olive oil in a large deep skillet over medium-high heat. Add seasoned chicken and sear for 6โ8 minutes, stirring occasionally, until golden brown and cooked through. Transfer to a plate and set aside.
ย In the same skillet, melt butter. Add minced garlic and sautรฉ for 30 seconds until fragrant.
ย Pour in chicken broth, heavy cream, and diced tomatoes with juices. Stir together and bring to a gentle simmer.
ย Add uncooked linguine directly into the skillet, stirring to submerge. Cover and simmer for 10โ12 minutes, stirring occasionally to prevent sticking.
ย Once pasta is tender and sauce has thickened, stir in mozzarella and Parmesan cheeses until melted and creamy.
ย Return cooked chicken to skillet and toss to combine. Let everything warm through for 2โ3 minutes.
ย Sprinkle with chopped parsley and red pepper flakes. Serve hot!
