Step 1

Heat the olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Coat the chicken with the Cajun seasoning, then brown on all sides for 5-6 minutes. Once done, remove the chicken from the skillet and set aside.

Step 2

In the same skillet, melt the butter over medium-low heat. Add the onion and cook for 4-5 minutes.

Step 3

Add the dried basil, Cajun seasoning, and garlic cloves and cook for 1 more minute.

Step 4

Deglaze the skillet with the white wine. Stir in the milk and heavy cream and heat for 6-7 minutes.

Step 5

Slowly stir in the parmesan until melted. Then, reduce the heat to a low simmer.

Step 6

Cook the pasta al dente according to the instructions on the package. When the pasta is ready, reserve 1 cup of pasta water and drain the rest.

Step 7

Mix the hot pasta into the sauce and stir until well-coated. Add more pasta water if necessary. (The sauce will thicken as it sits.)

Step 8

Mix in the chicken. Serve with fresh basil and enjoy!
